Session Overview:

This session with the Crisis Centre of BC will give tips on how to recognize the signs of a mental-health crisis, whether you are experiencing one yourself or concerned about someone you know. We will explore suicide prevention, how to recognize when someone may be struggling, and when and how to reach out for help.
