As many reacted with shock this week to the deaths of designer #KateSpade and celebrity chef #AnthonyBourdain, we learned that in #Canada, suicide is now one of the top ten leading causes of death. Creating a culture open to talking about #mentalhealth and suicide prevention is critical. Making treatment truly accessible for all people is paramount. One lesson that can be learned from these tragic events, however, is that those who seem to have everything going for them are, in fact, hurting too. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or has had thoughts of harming themselves or taking their own life, get help. The Canada Suicide Prevention Service (1-833-456-4566) provides 24/7, free, confidential support for people in distress, as well as best practices for professionals and resources to aid in prevention and crisis situations. #Orléans #Ottawa #SuicidePrevention
