Ottawa's first steps to be "Suicide Safer"
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.
The “Know What to Do” guide and other valuable information is available online here or at www.facebook.com/preventingsuicide.
Copies of the guide can be ordered from the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at:
