Every year the International Association for Suicide Prevention holds #WSPD to raise awareness for suicide, which takes the life of an individual every 40 seconds around the world, including that of 4000 Canadians every year.
This year the theme is "Connect, communicate, care", three vital ingredients in addressing and preventing suicide in our communities.
