Safe housing is suicide prevention.
Freedom from trauma and oppression is suicide prevention.
Improving access to care is suicide prevention.
Listening to patients, families, and communities, and co-creating interventions that work is suicide prevention.
The suicide rate amongst First Nations people was three times higher than among the non-Indigenous population.

Agree wholeheartedly. 15-20% of
@CAMHnews
emergency department patients are experiencing homelessness; and many of our patients face barriers to obtaining life-saving vaccines. J&J in the psych ED setting would be a game changer.
A supply of Johnson&Johnson vaccine would be particularly important - perhaps even available in our emergency room, offering a potentially life-saving jab to a person with mental illness who may otherwise not have easy access.
