Meet with Your Elected Leaders
Canada needs to take the next step to reduce suicide. Meet with your elected officials today to advance suicide prevention.
Canada released its first National Suicide Prevention Action Plan in May 2024. It’s a three-year plan (2024–2027) that brings federal, provincial, territorial, and Indigenous partners together, and it’s real progress.
A national strategy builds on what works.
The Hope Can’t Wait Coalition is calling for the next step: a comprehensive national strategy with national priorities, measurable reduction targets, dedicated long-term funding, and clear accountability.
Take action and meet with your elected officials today to share our message and what we are asking.
