SPRC has been helping to reduce suicide and its effects for over 25 years. We have listened to people’s stories of their struggles and have helped them find hope and counseling. We've sat beside people who’ve lost loved ones and listened to their heartbreaking stories, showing them that it's possible to survive. We have shown teenagers ways of building their resilience and helped men who've lost relationships or jobs to rebuild their lives. We have changed attitudes about suicide and shown that it is lifesaving to ask about suicidal thoughts and reach out to help people find the resources they need. Every year we teach hundreds of students & agency personnel to intervene safely in crisis situations. We work with organizations & caregivers from the BC border to Fox Creek & from Fairview to Grande Cache, with our offices in Grande Prairie, Alberta. We are accountable, use your money locally, and use research and best practices to address issues regarding identified high-risk groups.
