World Suicide Prevention Day – September 10, 2010
May 20th, 2010In collaboration with several community partners, the Crisis Centre is organizing a commemorative event on World Suicide Prevention Day at noon on Friday September 10, 2010 outside of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Every year in BC almost 500 people die by suicide – for each of those people, there are families and communities who survive them. On September 10 people around the world gather to remember loved ones who have died by suicide, to demonstrate support and compassion for families, friends and communities whose lives are touched by suicide, and to renew our commitment to learning more about suicide prevention, intervention and postvention so we can act effectively to reduce the incidence and impact of a devastating and often preventable tragedy.
