September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. It's an initiative to foster understanding of suicide prevention and promotes the message that death by suicide are preventable. On September 8th, the Canadian Mental Health Association Nova Scotia Division (CMHA NS) is urging those who identify as male to talk about the mental health issues and challenges. And Thursday evening, there will be a virtual panel discussion that will explore men's mental health and suicide prevention. They call it an evening of hope and healing. Brad Rowe will be one of the panellists. He is a Peer Navigator with Healthy Minds Cooperative who says men can help by showing empathy and understanding.
