The Canmore Trust

About

The Canmore Trust works with people impacted by suicide in both suicide prevention and in suicide postvention. In suicide prevention, The Canmore Trust works with people to find a safe space – a space that allows and encourages them to stay in the world, despite all the struggles and difficulties they may be facing right now. As part of this, we offer a 24/7 texting support service for anyone feeling that the world is not currently a safe place to be - text CANMORE to 85258. In suicide postvention, we work with individuals, communities, practices, workplaces, schools, colleges and universities touched by suicide to support those in need through the carnage that results from each and every suicide. We train those impacted by suicide to become “experienced friends” – people who have developed the skills to walk with others on the journey of suicide grief. Encouraging our clients to find purpose, in life after a deeply impacting suicide death is a major focus of our work.
