How can I make a Difference?

The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) is the only Canada-wide registered non-profit organization dedicated solely to suicide prevention. CASP relies upon individuals and groups for the financial support needed to carry out its work. Presently CASP receives no direct government funding.

Facts:

In Canada, each year

• over 3,700 people die by suicide - that's 10 Canadians each day - every day.
• over 400,000 Canadians deliberately harm themselves every year.
• suicide deaths & suicide attempts cost the Canadian economy over $14.7 million annually.
• it is estimated that between 6 and 28 people are deeply affected by each suicide.

CASP's ultimate purpose is to reduce the suicide rate and minimize the harmful consequences of suicidal behaviour. Annual donations and in-memoriam gifts are the lifeblood of our organization. We are grateful to our supporters for their thoughtful gifts.

The goal of the fund is to further develop the survivor support network facilitated by dedicated grass-roots volunteers and workers in communities across Canada. The fund is co-sponsored by the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention and the Canadian Mental Health Association.
