Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention

Our Mission

We are Canadians who want to reduce suicide and its impact in Canada. We represent experts and volunteers, school and community suicide prevention initiatives, mental health workers, researchers, crisis centres and families who have been impacted by suicide.

We are survivors of loss. Among us, we have lost children, parents, family members, neighbours, friends, patients and clients. So have most of you.

We want to end the silence. We want to ease the suffering, to heal our communities and our neighbours, as we have healed ourselves. We want to prevent others from experiencing such pain and such loss.
