Globally, every minute, a man dies by suicide.

In Canada, 75% of suicides are men.

What can we do?

Talk.

Ask.

Listen.

Encourage action.

Check in.

Most of us say we’d be there for our friends if they need us.

Most of us also say that we feel uncomfortable asking friends for help.

Something’s gotta change.
