The University of Calgary recently established a framework with a mission — zero suicide. According to the UCalgary website, the new Suicide Awareness and Prevention Framework works with the foundational belief that “suicide deaths for individuals under the care of health systems are preventable” and “the only acceptable goal is zero suicide.” The framework collaborates with the Campus Mental Health Strategy, and has also partnered with the Calgary’s Centre for Suicide Prevention and the Distress Centre in order to create a more helpful and caring campus community. Senior Director of Student Wellness, Access and Support Debbie Bruckner spoke on the Suicide Awareness and Prevention Framework and how it aims to help so many at UCalgary. Bruckner, the chair of the framework, discussed how through conversations with people such as Dr. Susan Barker, Vice-Provost of Student Experience and Dr. Andrew Szeto with the Campus Mental Health Strategy, the idea of a framework that directly helps those struggling with suicide was put into action.
