Become a Volunteer!
Volunteering is a mutually beneficial endeavour. It not only helps those in need in our communities, but also enriches the lives of volunteers and strengthens the overall well-being of the place in which we live, work and play! There are so many amazing ways to volunteer, and your local Suicide Prevention Network is always needing support. Why not volunteer a few hours of your time, get active and give a helping hand to those in your community!
