Roots of Hope
Supporting communities across the region 
Roots of Hope is a community-led suicide prevention model developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. This model is a tool to help communities build partnerships and take actionable steps to reduce the impact of suicide. Roots of Hope provides guidelines for suicide prevention and life promotion initiatives though these are tailored to the needs identified by the community; initiatives could involve public awareness campaigns to reduce stigma, training opportunities for community connectors, peer supports and reducing access to high risk methods.
