Get Youth At Risk of Suicide the Help They Need

We lose 2 young Canadians every day to suicide. Over a year, that equates to losing all the students in an entire high school.

Many of these deaths are preventable.

Almost all young people who die by suicide have a mental illness, such as depression. Sadly, 3 out of 4 children and youth with a mental health problem or illness will not receive treatment and those that do can wait as long as a year to get an appointment.

Our young people deserve better.

We need people across the country and in your community, to speak out and raise this issue with government.

Now is the time to do right by our youth.

Add your voice calling on the Canadian government to further invest in youth mental health, making mental health-related services, treatment and support available to all children and youth as soon as they need it, not just to those whose families can afford to pay for them.
