Our story…
As a suicide intervention trainer and avid kayak paddler, what better way to join the CMHA and the Center for Suicide Prevention's Run for Life event again this year than to "Paddle for Life". Connecting with others paddlers from our paddling community for this very important event helps to build the foundation of open and direct talk about suicide. Our team will paddle each morning from the darkness into the light with intention to raise awareness, remember those who have died by suicide, and promote an open dialogue to reduce the stigma and taboo associated with suicide.
