Hamilton Suicide Prevention Strategy

The Hamilton Suicide Prevention Strategy is the product of the collaboration
and dedication of many people. It responds to the unique needs and goals of the
City of Hamilton, while addressing the need to unite community organizations,
mental health services and resources to prevent death by suicide, and to assist,
educate, and to comfort. 

It is our hope that this Strategy will serve as a foundation to foster hope and as a
tool to reduce the impact of suicide for all people living in Hamilton.

Declaration of Support



“The Hamilton Suicide Prevention Strategy is foremost an expression of our commitment
to compassion and to caring. Compassion for those of us who have suffered the profound
loss of someone we love. Caring for those who experience or live with suicidal thoughts or behaviours. A strategy confirms our commitment to every member of our community, to every neighbour, to every friend, to every family member, because suicide prevention is everyone's business.”
Adrian Hill, Past President, Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention
