Roots of Hope is a community-based model that supports populations across Canada in reducing the impact of suicide in their local context. The model builds on community expertise to implement suicide prevention and life promotion interventions, based on 5 pillars and 13 guiding principles.

The Roots of Hope case studies show some of the ways individual communities have been developing suicide prevention efforts to meet their own needs and align them with the model’s pillars and principles. We hope you find their stories, strategies, and initiatives informative and inspirational.
