Our Front Door team will be at the World Su***de Prevention Day event hosted by the Waterloo Region Su***de Prevention Council this evening with resources for the community.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, a global advocacy and awareness day which aims to reduce stigma about su***de, encourage action, and promote the possibility of hope, help, and healing.

Each year, our World Su***de Prevention Day event provides an opportunity to access information about local services and resources, to connect with others, and to be with community. Today, we'll be gathering at the Kitchener Public Library from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, and we hope to see you there. 💙
