"September 10th is World Su***de Prevention Day. On this day, people will gather in communities across Canada and around the world to show support for su***de prevention efforts, to remember and celebrate the lives of those who have died by su***de, to comfort those who grieve the loss of a loved one to su***de and to strengthen connections and community together.

The Canadian Association for Su***de Prevention (CASP) is marking this day by hosting a free and live, virtual event entitled, Indigenous Knowledge and Life Promotion: Changing Narratives on Su***de, featuring guest speakers Elder John Rice and Lindsay DuPré.

Join Elder John and Lindsay as they share insights into how Indigenous Knowledge can shift perspectives on su***de. Elder John is a third-degree member of the Three Fires Midewiwin Society and Elder/Knowledge Holder at Dnaagdawenmag Binnoojiiyag Child & Family Services. He has an incredible ability to weave and harmonize Traditional Knowledge and Teachings into mainstream work. Grounded in her lived experiences as a Métis scholar, mom and auntie, Lindsay will explore how our relationships with Knowledge shape our wellbeing and our sense of community liveability. Her presentation will highlight the rigour of Indigenous Science and its potential for shaping life promotion strategies.

Life promotion is rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems and cultural teachings, and shifts the narrative from crisis response to one of hope, healing and empowerment. At its core, Life Promotion is about celebrating life. Rather than focusing solely on su***de prevention, it embraces a “language of life”—a strengths-based approach that emphasizes belonging, meaning, purpose and hope. This philosophy aligns with the First Nations Mental Wellness Continuum Framework, which recognizes that wellness is deeply connected to culture, land, spirituality and community.

Following the presentation, there will be a Q & A and closing segment, with attendees encouraged to participate in a “Global Candle Vigil” by placing a candle in their window to “Light a Flame of Hope” at 8:00 pm in their respective time zones.

This WSPD event will be held on Wednesday, September 10th, 12:00-1:30 PM ET and registration is required (link below)."
