Running for Rachael, 10 Years of Building Hope!
10 years is an important milestone! Together, we have made much progress in advancing the work of suicide prevention in our city.
Running for Rachael plays a vital role in supporting the city-wide work of suicide prevention in Hamilton by bringing the community together to promote hope, help and healing through crisis support information, training, education and support groups.
When a community comes together, lives are transformed!
Our partnership with CF Lime Ridge is an important step in helping to engage the community. With Running for Rachael, everyone is part of the team. We celebrate and encourage one another to walk or run to help others.
Last year’s Running for Rachael was a virtual event that was critical in supporting our 2022 city-wide suicide prevention work
- HOPE – Roots of Hope Suicide Prevention & Life Promotion Program. One of the projects is LivingWorks Start an online suicide prevention training program that will teach you how to recognize when someone is having thoughts of suicide and take meaningful action to keep them safe.
- HELP– Be Safe for HAMILTON is a free mobile app that offers information and links to mental health, addiction and suicide prevention resources in Hamilton. Download the app on the App Store or Google play.
- HEALING – Support groups for those who are bereaved by loss due to suicide.
