World Suicide Prevention Day Concert in Ottawa Susan Aglukark & Friends of Emmet at Centrepointe Theatre Sept. 10

LivingWorks Education Inc., the Ottawa Suicide Prevention Coalition (OSPC) and the Collateral Damage Project will host a concert on Saturday, September 10th, 2011 at Ottawa’s Centrepointe Theatre headlining Inuk singer/songwriter, Susan Aglukark. The opening band, Friends of Emmet, is from Dublin, Ireland. The concert is the first of its kind honoring World Suicide Prevention Day in Canada. Susan Aglukark will be launching her new album, Revolution Road on Sept 27th. Friends of Emmet will be releasing their new album, State of Mind in January 2012.

Many partners are have come together to make this concert happen, including the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP), the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), the City of Ottawa, and many other “friends of suicide prevention” including Your Life Counts! International Inc. (YLC).

“The goal of this special event is to raise awareness about suicide prevention in Canada”, announced Richard Ramsay, President of LivingWorks Education Inc., “and highlighting the need for training for caregivers in every part of Canada.” The evening will also benefit suicide prevention in Ottawa and area, the Collateral Damage Project, and support The Arctic Children and Youth Foundation, chaired by Susan Aglukark.

The event will celebrate the “Building Suicide Safer Communities” initiative, a Canadian campaign hosted by LivingWorks Education and the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP-ACPS). The initiative advocates for nation-wide suicide prevention and saving lives lost through this highly ignored community health tragedy. Communities can register to become a suicide-safer community and receive recognition for their contribution at www.suicidesafercommunities.com and find more information on Facebook at “suicide-safer communities initiative”.

Scott Chisholm, founder and CEO of Collateral Damage, a national project that works to de-stigmatize and prevent suicide through education and conversation, speaks of his personal experience of suicide: “I was just 17 when I lost my dad. Suicide, back then, wasn’t something that people willingly talked about. In presenting this concert, we’re making a statement that these conversations are not only OK in this day and age, but vital – not talking about suicide certainly isn’t working. It’s an honour for us, here at the Collateral Damage project, to come together with these likeminded organizations, advocating for suicide prevention.”

This first time event held in Ottawa will be an opportunity to commemorate World Suicide Prevention Day in Canada and start the discussion about a National Strategy for Canada on Suicide Prevention which remains long overdue. Tickets are available to purchase for $35 each at the Centrepointe Theatre website at http://www.centrepointetheatre.com/events_tickets/
