The Overview

NEED2 - Suicide Prevention Education & Support

NEED2 has the unenviable task of continually talking about an issue loaded with stigma and silence; suicide. Despite the fact that suicide has impacted the lives of most people, it remains a topic avoided in mainstream conversations and media. NEED2 is working hard to change that; utilizing their programs to provide prevention education and support to create suicide safer communities across Vancouver Island and BC as a whole.
