Hundreds of people representing more than 40 organizations gathered
at Ben Franklin Place for the launch of the Community Suicide Prevention
Network's three-year plan to build a "Suicide Safer Ottawa".
Billed as the city's first summit on youth
suicide prevention, the event featured politicians, health care
leaders, educators and young people. The
goal of the event was to bring Ottawans together to talk about what was
already in place and what will be needed to be in the future to help
prevent youth suicide, an issue that has captured local and provincial
attention in recent months.
