WELL-BEING ACTIVITY: (Grounding Activity)
Protective factors – which we gain as we grow – act as defenses against the stresses of living to allow for a full and enjoyable life. These key factors ensure our passports are valid, we have the necessary vaccinations, our itinerary is in order, and we are well-prepared to experience a healthy, safe, and meaningful trip through life. “The promotion of healthy living is but one way that suicide can be prevented.” – Centre for Suicide Prevention
RESOURCES – COMMUNITY BOOTHS (Over 12 organizations on site)
Complete your passport by obtaining a keyword from every community partner booth. Each completed passport gives you a chance to win the wellness basket valued at $100. Draw is at 3 pm.
TESTIMONIAL & IMPACT AWARD (Special Guest Invited)
The insights and stories of people with a lived experience of suicide can be extremely powerful in helping others understand suicide better and encourage people to reach in to support someone, and for individuals to reach out for help themselves.
Together we can prevent suicide!
