Canada has now launched a three digit 988 number for suicide prevention.
If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, call or text 9-8-8. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through 9-8-8: Suicide Crisis Helpline.
We are all in this together.
Check information sources once a day and ensure they are reliable.
Arrange a virtual meeting with friends, family and co-workers. Make sure you check in with the most vulnerable and those who may be struggling.
Maintain your daily routine as much as possible. Keep a consistent sleep schedule and wake up at the same time everyday.
Find a quiet place to work in your home. Set aside specific work hours and ensure you take regular breaks.
Exercise earlier in the day. Bike, run, walk and stretch.
Don't be too hard on yourself. No one is perfect and this is new to everyone. We are all in this together.
We exist to provide moments of connection that create hope, support recovery and save lives. We help people connect to their strengths and find new ways to cope, live and thrive. Our vision is a Canada where suicide is prevented because everyone can access help when they need it the most.
