The Waterloo Region Suicide Prevention Council is a non-profit in Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada, with a mission of reducing suicide and it’s impact on individuals, families, and communities. We envision a community where everyone is engaged in suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. While our work is grounded within Waterloo Region, we also contribute to provincial and national suicide prevention initiatives. The WRSPC does work in three key priority areas: 1) Building Sense of Community: We create opportunities for sense of community and connectedness, while also building awareness of mental health, well being and suicide to reduce stigma. 2) Education and Training: We use current best practices to equip people with knowledge and tools to be meaningfully engaged in suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. 3) Organizational Capacity and Excellence: We hold ourselves to a standard of excellence by ensuring our work is sustainable, effective, and impactful. WRSPC does not provide crisis intervention or support. If you are in crisis in Waterloo Region, please contact Here 24/7 at 1 844 437 3247
