Let me ask you something:
Do you or anyone you know struggle with mental health/mental illness?
Do you understand the lack of resources we have in Canada and that we are STILL the ONLY G8 country without a National Suicide Strategy? Thanks to organizations such as Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention - CASP who have proposed a blue print "we have put forward our Blueprint as a starting point, hoping to challenge, motivate and assist our lawmakers and governments
to fulfill their leadership roles."
to fulfill their leadership roles."
"As researchers, authors and suicide prevention leaders, we have tried to address issues, needed improvements, and emerging promising practices in a practical, achievable and humane
manner. "
manner. "
If you know me then you know I suffer with depression, anxiety and have a learning exceptionality as well. But this isn't about me, it's about YOU. It's about YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR NEIGHBOURS, YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER, YOUR COUNTRY!
Stand up. Speak up. You have no idea how many people around you are silently suffering on an everyday basis, yet between their own fears and the fears that society has instilled, we don't say anything. So we assume "this is life," which it is, but it doesn't have to be a miserable one. It can go from ordinary to extraordinary.
But YOU have to do something about it first.
These organizations are the front runners of today's mental health care and without them...I don't even know.
You know what to do.
