Hello everyone!

Did you know that 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in Canada experience disproportionately higher rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. Specifically, 2SLGBTQIA+ youth are twice as likely to consider su***de compared to their non-2SLGBTQIA+ counterparts. Transgender individuals are also twice as likely to attempt su***de as opposed to cisgender individuals.

With this knowledge Healthy Minds Cooperative is dedicated to providing peer-driven mental health and su***de prevention support to 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and all those who are most disproportionately affected by mental health and addiction struggles.

This World Su***de Prevention Day, please join us for a virtual panel discussion about su***de prevention supports within NS for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Panelists will include Healthy Minds Cooperative staff along with Roots of Hope NS and prideHealth. All folks interested in learning about su***de prevention supports within NS for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities are welcome to attend. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

⏰Date & Time: September 10th, 3pm-4:30pm ADT.

✨Location: Zoom (link sent upon registering)

📋To register, please visit: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/su***de-prevention-for-2slgbtqia-communities-in-nova-scotia-tickets-1607034356019?aff=oddtdtcreator
