Overall, an estimated 3,900 Canadians and 800,000 people worldwide die by suicide each year, yet it remains a taboo subject that is often not openly discussed.
Here in B.C. we lose an average of 500 people a year to suicide. The effects can be devastating to our families and our communities. Suicide prevention is a shared responsibility - we all have the potential to make a difference and save a life.
