Hi Folake,
ReplyDeleteSuicide is a serious issue, one I daresay has personally impacted me. I lost a friend to suicide a couple of years ago, so I am glad you have chosen it as your topic of interest for these postings. In regard to your post, is Life Line Canada a call line similar to our National Suicide Hotline, or is similar to an information phone application? Your post is not very clear as to what kind of helpful resource it is. It is interesting to note that “persons aged 40 to 59…. [making up] [f]orty-five percent of all suicides in 2009” (Navaneelan, 2017). I thought the rates would show to be more in favor of the younger populations. I am glad to see Canada is taking initiative and decreasing the number of deaths by suicide because of their successful applications of information and assistance to those in need. Suicide is a terrible thing, and we need to do more to let those who are considering it that there are people out there who can help.
