World Suicide Prevention Day

The Small Business Community Network (SBCN) is commited to supporting local and global communities by helping them spread awareness about health & wellness, events, business growth, to name a few.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day   and we are offered a wonderful opportunity to share information and create awareness about mental health challenges.

"We want you to join us and make a meaningful connection with Canadians in support of suicide prevention.

The Canadian Association of Suicide Prevention (CASP) and the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) invite Canadians to identify at least one way of connecting to World Suicide Prevention Day.

Building on the theme of World Suicide Prevention Day – “One World Connected” – and a national theme of “Connecting Canada,” the 2014 event emphasizes a connection with oneself, with others, and a community is critical to an individual’s sense of hopefulness and wellbeing.

On September 10 people will gather in communities all across Canada to show their support for suicide prevention, to remember, and celebrate the lives those who have died, comfort those who grieve, and strengthen our connection with each other. During WSPD, we remember that we are all connected to each other through shared experiences, sorrow, hope, determination, commitment, and compassion."
