Today marks World Suicide Prevention Day

Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer says Canadians are reporting increased mental health needs amid COVID-19.
This comes as the world marks World Suicide Prevention Day.
“The need to be together, while apart, has never been stronger,” said Dr. Theresa Tam in a statement.
“Now more than ever, we need to support one another by reaching out to our friends, family, neighbours, and community members. A text, email, letter or phone call can be a lifeline to someone who is struggling.”
The Hamilton sign will be lit orange to honour those who have been affected by suicide and to help decrease the stigma.
