| Raising awareness and talking about suicide prevention can increase help-seeking behaviour and build capacity to prevent suicide. Talking about suicide prevention among first responders is important. Awareness and understanding open the door to accessing help and mental health support when needed. The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) is launching a new webinar series dedicated to supporting the mental health of first responders. Sign up today to learn about effective mental health strategies specific to the first responder community. Learn from Tom Walker, Human Factors Specialist at Ornge on trends, risk factors and strategies for raising awareness about and preventing suicide among first responders. | ||

This webinar will be presented in English. A recording and PowerPoint presentation will be available on the MHCC’s website by the end of August 2016. |
