Provincial Mental Health Crisis Line 1-888-429-8167
For Emergencies: Dial 911
Those who have recovered and are successfully managing a mental health problem or mental illness play an important role in combating stigma. Their stories of hope and recovery are influential to changing how people think about suicide prevention, and how they react and treat those struggling with their mental health. Family members, friends and caregivers who support someone who is thinking about suicide and/or who have lost someone to suicide also play an important role as a speaker in destigmatizing suicide.
People with lived experience are at the centre of Roots of Hope. We will support the health and well-being of people with lived experience who are involved to ensure their voices are respected and heard in safer spaces
Kanaar’s mission is to guide youth and underrepresented groups with the socio-emotional awareness to begin using their voice as a tool to create change. He is an experienced storyteller and has helped many people learn how to Let Your Soul Talk. He is working with people with lived experience to develop ways we can support those who have contemplated and those who have lost to suicide tell their stories to bring change.
