We equip people with knowledge and skills to respond to those considering suicide.

We educate for life.

Every year in Canada, approximately 4000 people die by suicide; that’s equivalent to 11 lives lost every day. Education is one of few best practices in suicide prevention; it shares knowledge and breaks down stigma. Your donation helps amplify the message that suicide is preventable and hope is possible.

“Centre for Suicide Prevention gave me the confidence, the words and the tools to address the needs of someone considering suicide. Having these tools is immensely helpful and continues to serve me in my work with vulnerable people. Thank you for providing this training.”
