KeepSafe

Brandon & Area SPIN recognizes that the impact of suicide is widespread, affecting families, friends and communities. It is a complex issue with complex contributing factors and, therefore, needs a multifaceted approach with broad community supports to build a Suicide-Safer Community.

• school counsellor, teacher or coach
• family doctors
• adult friends
• counsellors
• clergy/spiritual leaders
• if you don’t have anyone you feel comfortable talking to, please get help from one of the helplines listed below.
