Please Stay by Jake Runestad Mount Royal Kantorei

We encourage open conversations about these serious issues and illnesses, as we all struggle at times battling them. Now more than ever it is so important to stand together, support one another, and share hope. In honour of International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day we share this moment of reflection, grief, healing and hope.

You are not alone – together, we can make a difference and be the support system that saves a life.
