September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day.
In Canada alone, 4,500 people lose their lives to suicide every year.
Each number represents a life, a story, and countless affected loved ones.
At CMHA Algoma we believe that the best way to recognize the lives that have been lost is to take action.
Here are some steps to reduce risk of suicide:
1. Connect with Healthcare: Establish a trust-based relationship with doctors or mental health professionals. 🩺🤝
2. Join a Support System: Link up with care teams or community programs focused on mental well-being. Mental health matters just as much as physical health. 🧠❤️
3. Act Promptly: Address mental health concerns early. Immediate attention can help reduce stress and watch out for suicidal thoughts. ⏱️💡
4. Build Community: Strengthen ties with family, friends, support groups, or faith communities. We thrive in connection. 👨👩👧👦🌐
5. Equip Yourself: Master coping techniques to handle challenges confidently. 🧘♀️🔧
6. Remember That You Matter: Never forget that you're valuable. Together, we can prevent suicide. 🤗
7. Raise Awareness: Knowledge is power. Like and share to champion the cause. 📢🔄
