Roughly 4500 people every year in our country take their own life and more than 200 people attempt to every day.

That's why there has never been a more important time to take care of yourself, especially when things get tough.

Suicide rates are also about three times higher among men compared to women and that's why Prairie Mountain Health is here for those that are struggling.

"We have increased our efforts to provide additional naloxone to those in risk or their family members," said Sesley Sloboda, rehabilitation councillor with Prairie Mountain Health Addiction Services. "Providing education opportunities is something we have been focusing on. It contributes to both prevention and intervention efforts."

If you are struggling and need help, you still may be hesitant to reach out. Sloboda knows this is very common, but she wants you to know that you are not alone. 

"Asking for what you need and want is brave and it shows strength," offered Sloboda. "You set your goals, you will be the driver in your recovery, and we will be there as you go on a journey. Recovery is a journey that no one should ever have to go on alone, so we are here to give you the support you need."

There are a variety of resources available if you are looking for help.
