We're raising money this year to help raise awareness of mental health issues in men.
We live in Fernie, BC, which is part of the 'suicide belt' - which has a suicide rate 3 times higher than the national average. This is for many reasons, including lack of appropriate resources, economic instability leading to financial stress, and the belief that one must be self reliant.
By raising money and awareness, we can help de-stigmatize mens mental health issues, while contributing to important resources that everyone can access.
