Join the Kick-off Walk for Suicide Prevention Awareness Week - September 10+

What is Suicide Prevention Awareness Week?

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) in collaboration with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) is leading a campaign to bring awareness about mental health promotion and suicide prevention. We have convened a large network of community partners to plan and launch the inaugural Suicide Prevention Awareness Week from September 10-16, 2016. The Suicide Prevention Awareness Week planning group includes representatives from Essex-Windsor EMS, The County of Essex and partners from all sectors including Workplace, Health Services, Community, School Boards, and Post-Secondary Institutions.

CMHA, WECHU, and other community partners will be hosting various events and activities throughout the week to promote suicide awareness and prevention (i.e., webinars, training workshops, talks, wearing yellow, etc.).
