Suicide Prevention Speaker Series: Kevin Lamoureax
2021-09-09 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Zoom
In this session special guest Kevin Lamoureux will focus on suicide prevention through the lens of social justice. Many young people find themselves struggling to overcome oppression and injustices that have sometimes impacted families and communities across generations. Every young person that finds themselves without hope is a failing of justice and equity, not a failing of the child. Grounded within the framework provided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, this session will honour the care adults who work on behalf of young people provide to create lasting and meaningful change.
