Act.

• Pay more attention to mental health & well-being;
  Encourage it in others;
• Support a loved one/friend/colleague living with a mental health issue or illness, who is going through a difficult time, is struggling with suicidal thoughts or has lost a loved one to suicide;
• Do not use ‘commit suicide’ or ‘successful suicide’;
  Use ‘died by suicide’ or ‘suicided’;
• Reassure others that it's ok to talk about suicide.
  Talking about suicide can help elected officials shape policy;
  can improve the mental health system;
  ensures programs exist for all Canadians, such as skills groups
  for those who have attempted suicide and bereavement support;
• Take a suicide alertness or intervention training
  (SafeTALK/ASIST/Mental Health First Aid, others).
  Just like we learn physical first aid skills we can also learn emotional first aid skills;
  Encourage families/friends/co-workers/faith groups/coaches
  to lead others to take and host training in your community.
• Raise funds;
• Host or attend a World Suicide Prevention Day event.
