One more day until our mental health and suicide prevention awareness game with the North Bay Battalion!
#DYK
🖤 Approximately 12 people die by suicide in Canada each day
👬 Men are 3 times more likely to die by suicide than women.
🖤🖤 Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among youth and young adults.
Programs like #TalkToday work to remove stigma around talking about mental health to help those that are struggling.
Join us tomorrow, February 6 @ 7:00 pm as the Battalion take on the Soo Greyhounds. CMHA NBD, with special guest Chat4Chad, will be there sharing information on the importance of having open and honest conversations about mental health.

LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN:
Romance Starts at Home! (LPW) is a project that uses social media to link local grassroots gestures of love. Using Valentines Day as a backdrop, LPW creates a platform for individuals and communities to engage in public and private acts of love and caring for women living with HIV.
Going beyond romantic love to deep community love and social justice, LPW is call to action. It requires participants to reflect on how they as either a woman living with HIV or an ally will commit to loving women living with HIV and then do it. Through action, change can be made to fueling economies of love and compassion.
Working from a place of strength, LPW focuses on the idea of interconnectedness, relationship building, loving oneself and loving ones community. By starting from a place of love, within oneself there are endless ways that the negative impacts that HIV has on women living with HIV can be lessened.
While LPW is active primarily between February 1st – 14th, its reminisce remains as a symbol of how the world can be different.
Join us for a number of events over the next 10 days to create awareness, provide the tools for self care and self love, and so much more.
If you have any questions please reach out to Seth at whai@aidsnorthbay.ca
We begin tomorrow with a testing clinic from 1:00pm -3:00pm at AIDS Committee of North Bay & Area with our clinical team. We will have pizza and refreshments while you wait for your results. We will have our team onsite for support, we will also offer a workshop on HIV.
