Every year, 4,000 Canadians die by su***de.

And behind every loss are loved ones left to griever—families, friends, coworkers, classmates, community members. The ripple effect reaches tens of thousands of lives.

But su***de is preventable. When people can find help, they can hold on to hope.

As a nurse, I’ve sat with people in crisis, when they’ve felt lost and alone and like help was out of reach.

As a researcher, I’ve spent my career closing that gap.

That’s why I’m proud to lead CAMH’s Digital Innovation Hub. It’s a space where clinicians, scientists and people with lived experience come together to design and scale digital tools that make mental health care more accessible and effect.

And it’s also why I’m proud to be part of an organization like CAMH, where innovation is making a real difference in su***de prevention with initiatives like:

• 9-8-8, Canada’s three-digit su***de prevention helpline, led by CAMH in partnership with the Government of Canada, providing free, evidence-based support 24/7 by call or text.

• The Hope app, a free tool that offers su***de prevention information, crisis resources, and personalized support in moments of need.

These are lifelines built on compassion, collaboration and science that help more people connect to care, when and where they need it.

September 10 is World Su***de Prevention Day. I hope you’ll take the opportunity to share these resources. You never know who might need a reminder that help and hope are always within reach.

What do you think is the next tech innovation that could help save lives? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

One in four men in Canada are at risk of depression. That’s a public health issue, and a reflection of how men’s mental health still isn’t taken seriously enough.

In Canada, men make up 75% of su***de deaths. Su***de is the second leading cause of death for men under 50. And yet, men are far less likely to access mental health support. Only 30% of those who seek mental health services are men.

This is Men’s Health Week, a dedicated week that’s also a part of Men’s Mental Health Month every June. And on Friday, it’s Men’s Mental Health Awareness Day. We’re using this time to focus on the full picture of men’s health.

Here are some stats to get the conversation started:

🔘 In Canada, men account for 75% of su***de deaths.
🔘 Nearly 1 in 2 men say they feel socially isolated.
🔘 73% of men living alone feel disconnected.
🔘 And 67% have never accessed mental health support.

It’s also important for us to contextualize what we mean when we speak on men’s mental health this week: it affects all men. That includes trans men, Two-Spirit people, non-binary folks who identify with manhood, racialized men, Indigenous men, gay and bisexual men. No one should be left out of the conversation.

Stigma, silence and outdated ideas of masculinity are costing lives. It’s time for change.

This week we’ll be sharing facts, resources and reminders that men deserve support. Including support that reflects their real lives and identities.

Mental health belongs to everyone. So do the solutions.
