Suicide Prevention Week 2025: Events in Toronto

Suicide Prevention Week is an important opportunity for the Toronto community to come together in support, awareness, and hope. Whether you’re personally affected or want to be part of a caring movement, there are events and resources available for everyone in North York and across the GTA.

Why Suicide Prevention Week Matters in Toronto

Every year, Suicide Prevention Week shines a light on mental health challenges—breaking the silence around suicide and empowering people to seek help. In Toronto, the need for open dialogue is real. Statistics Canada and local organizations emphasize the importance of community support to mitigate risk and provide hope to those who struggle. Public events not only honour lives lost but offer vital resources for healing.

Toronto’s 2025 Suicide Prevention Events: What to Expect

This September, Toronto offers a variety of events to mark Suicide Prevention Week 2025, including:

• Awareness Walks: Join walks in North York and the downtown core, where survivors and advocates share their voices.
• Workshops & Guest Speakers: From mental health professionals to individuals with lived experience, these sessions provide both education and connection.
• Art & Candlelight Vigils: Expressing grief and hope through creativity, vigils unite families and friends in remembrance and solidarity.
• Resource Fairs: Meet local organizations dedicated to suicide prevention, mental health care, and peer support in the Toronto region.

Most events are open to all ages and focus on both education and empowerment—find current listings on CAMH’s Suicide Prevention resources page and through community partners.

Getting Involved: Ways to Make a Difference

You can make an impact by participating, volunteering, or sharing resources during Suicide Prevention Week. Not sure where to begin? Consider starting with a conversation—ask friends and family how they’re feeling, and listen with empathy.
