UPDATE:
As the Clyde Mental Health and Addictions Awareness Project has grown, so have our efforts to spread awareness and hope around suicide prevention, postvention, and intervention. We now have five different iterations of our suicide prevention toolkit to share.
- Suicide Awareness and Prevention Toolkit
- Suicide Awareness and Prevention Toolkit for Youth
- Suicide Awareness and Prevention Toolkit for Educators
- Indigenous Focused Suicide Awareness and Prevention Toolkit
- 2SLGBTQIA+ Focused Suicide Awareness and Prevention Toolkit
In honour of World Suicide Prevention Day, in an effort to create hope through action, Distress and Crisis Ontario has partnered with the Delton Glebe Counselling Centre to create two suicide prevention toolkits. One kit has been created for youth who may have questions about suicide, be struggling with suicidal ideation, or be facing grief related to suicide. The other is intended for educators, and other frontline staff who work with youth, to support their ability to walk alongside young people and to provide a resource for their personal use as well. Please share this resource with those who may benefit from it.
“By encouraging understanding, reaching in and sharing experiences, we want to give people the confidence to take action. To prevent suicide requires us to become a beacon of light to those in pain.” – IASP 2022
The toolkit for youth can be found here.
The toolkit for educators and other frontline staff can be found here.
