3 A MESSAGE FROM THE President & Executive director The vision of the Centre for Suicide Prevention is to educate everyone, particularly those in health care, education, social services, and justice. Our community needs are increasing and there are not enough trained responders. We conduct around 350 workshops per year in our province of Alberta, yet there is demand and need for more. Our society is changing and we are facing new challenges in suicide prevention. There are everincreasing pressures on families, schools, and social structures and there are ever-increasing demands on the public dollars allocated through government spending. Suicide is becoming more visible: more reported in the media, more discussed in the community. The challenges within Aboriginal communities are great and the issue of suicide in seniors is growing at an alarming rate. We at CSP offer over 30 years of expertise and commitment to servicing our community. Our mandate is to protect vulnerable people through prevention. Together with our highly experienced network of Mentors and Trainers, we work with social agencies and government departments to equip people to respond to the risk of suicide. Through training workshops, knowledge translation publications, web contact and our online Aboriginal River of Life suicide prevention course we educate a wide and diverse population throughout Alberta and beyond. The pride Albertans can have in knowing we are located here, working hard to serve this province and all Canadians, is of great value to every level of society. Carmelle Hunka President, Board of Directors Diane Yackel, BScN, MA, FT Executive Director Centre for Suicide Prevention Annual Report Centre for Suicide Prevention 4 Annual Report
4 Education director s message The Centre for Suicide Prevention (CSP) is a not-for-profit education centre. We educate: train, inform, discuss and impart knowledge about suicide in hopes of increasing awareness and reducing stigma around this significant cause of death. We want to foster a community where people at risk of suicide are recognized, engaged and cared for by those around them: suicide is everybody s business. Who uses our services? CSP has a wide and varied group of service recipients. We educate hundreds of individuals and groups including non-profit organizations, Aboriginal communities, government agencies and departments, private sector companies and the general public. We believe that everyone needs to learn about suicide prevention; we spread our impact as widely as possible. We educate in many ways. The teaching and learning cycle at CSP is fully integrated in all we do. We collect information (scholarly journals, books, grey literature) and translate it into op-ed columns, resource toolkits, media interviews, special presentations and workshop curricula. We take the publications, interviews, presentations and workshops to the community and bring back community feedback which informs further development. How effective are we? Health promotion initiatives are difficult to measure but what we can measure with confidence is how many participants attend our workshops, how many columns we publish and how many people sign up to receive our information services: the numbers continue to rise. People want to learn about suicide and how they can help prevent it. Our overall reach is growing. Stigma around suicide may continue but bit by bit, our community is becoming more informed about this daunting social issue. Policy, Research & Advocacy Involvement CSP is involved with many other organizations all working to further suicide prevention. Some of our partners include: Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) Canadian Mental Health Association - National LivingWorks International Collaborative Committee McMaster Health Forum Media National Collaborative for Suicide Prevention (together with the Mental Health Commission of Canada, Public Health Agency of Canada, CASP, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch, and others) Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, The University of Western Ontario We also provide research support for the media, many social agencies and government departments Mara Grunau, BEd, MPA Education Director Centre for Suicide Prevention 5 Annual Report Centre for Suicide Prevention 6 Annual Report
