Urgent Announcement: Youth Suicide Grief Support Program Relaunches on September 11th 2024


Attention Edmonton community! The Canadian Mental Health Association - Edmonton Region is pleased to announce the relaunch of its impactful Youth Suicide Grief Support Program, starting tomorrow (September 11, 2024)! This vital program is designed to support youth aged 12-25 and their families/caregivers who have experienced a loss due to suicide. 



“It isn't that you didn't reach for them. It's just that it was too hard to see your hand in the blackness”. 


The in-person weekly sessions will be held at our Prosper Place location, 10455 172 Street NW, Edmonton. These sessions provide a safe space to process grief, learn new tools, and receive much-needed support. Additionally, information sessions will introduce participants to the group, allowing them to ask questions and determine if the program is the right fit for them. 


Time is of the essence! Register now to secure your spot and take the first step towards healing.
