Last Thursday, we had the privilege of welcoming Ya'ara Saks, Yasir Naqvi, Elisabeth Brière and Michael Collins to the Distress Centre of Ottawa to reflect on the anniversary of 9-8-8. Their visit reinforced the importance of accessible mental health support and the ongoing collaboration needed to support our community.

Thank you for your continued commitment to mental health and crisis support. Together, we make a difference.

"Change the narrative on su***de." The WHO has set this as the triennial theme for World Su***de Prevention Day. Let's help change the narrative, let's open up the conversation about su***de prevention. Let's help shift from a culture of silence and stigma to a culture of openness and understanding. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, call 9-8-8. You are not alone.
