TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 10. 6 pm: MARKING WORLD SUICIDE DAY, VICTORIA PARK
Caring Hearts is the only organization in Saskatchewan, and one of only few in Canada offering and specializing in grief, loss, and trauma support services and education.
September 10th marks World Suicide Awareness Day and we invite you to attend our event being held in Regina at 6:00 PM in Central Park (15th Avenue and Scarth Street).
Did you know that
• Saskatchewan has the highest rate of death by suicide for any Canadian province behind the three territories.
• Every day, Caring Hearts supports families and communities through traumatic losses like a death by suicide, among others. To demonstrate our impact, we recently received two urgent weekend calls from the Regina Police Service to support individuals impacted by a suicide loss who were requiring immediate support. Within two days, Caring Hearts had them through our intake and into care. This is just one example of the ongoing timeliness and significance of our support and how we help save lives during people’s most difficult experiences.
• Alongside our grief and loss supports, we provide extensive education on grief, trauma, and intergenerational trauma across the province, including to many of our remote First Nations communities.
• Caring hearts is small but mighty! We do all of this through grants and fundraising as we do not yet have sustainable avenues of funding in place.
It is our hope to have you join us on September 10th at 6:00 PM in Regina’s Central Park (15th Ave and Scarth Street). Please find the attached poster for more details.
