Make a Contribution
The
LifeLine Canada Foundation’s mission is to open minds, save lives and
restore hope. Whether it be through the information provided on this
website, through the LifeLine App, or through any of our initiatives
like Companion Paws Canada, we are constantly looking for ways to reduce
the suicide rate and minimize the consequences of suicidal behavior. More…
Suicide is a serious public health
problem that have lasting, harmful effects on individuals, families, and
communities. It’s an issue that is still surrounded by fear, shame, and
silence. By breaking through the barrier of stigma and openly
addressing the factors that contribute to suicide, we can all take a
more active and effective role in helping to prevent it and support
those who are bereaved.
Our secret weapon is ourselves, our
families and our friends. Using The LifeLine App as a first go-to tool,
with instant guidance and support to help prevent suicides, build
awareness, support survivors of suicide and work to eliminate the stigma
surrounding suicide.
The effects on family and friends left
picking up the shattered pieces after a suicide are so devastating and
destructive. It can get so much worse before it gets better. It is a
very long windy road of healing. The grief changes shape, but it never
really ends.
Guidance, Love and Support are KEY.
Talk About It!
