Masks off for Mental Health - Suicide Awareness Fundraiser

 —  —

Allard Hall, 11110 104 Avenue Northwest , Edmonton

Join our host Meaghan Lim, along with singer/songwriter Emmet Michael, for an evening of fashion, music, and poetry in support of suicide awareness.

Can you believe suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth and young adults (15-34 years)?

Suicide is a complex subject with many causes. Those suffering from thoughts of suicide often avoid seeking help because of the associated stigma. Let's come together in community to support those contemplating suicide. To remember those who have fallen. To hold a hand out to those who have lost a loved one to this terrible and debilitating condition of the mind.

We will have many silent auction items through the evening, with proceeds going toward suicide awareness workshops here in Alberta.

  • We are here to make light in dark spaces and have seen so much generosity from sponsors and silent auction donors. Suicide may seem taboo, but is the second leading cause of death among youth and young adults (15-34 years) in Canada. Join us October 28, 2023 to share in community, song, art and grief surrounding the topic of suicide. There will be light refreshments available for purchase, however this is a sober event.
