The Youth Suicide Prevention Grant Program is providing $3 million over the next two years to 13 youth-focused community programs.

These organizations will use the grants to provide mental health support and services to priority youth populations at a higher risk for youth suicide.

The successful grant recipients are from regions across the province that work locally to serve and support the mental health of young people, including Indigenous youth.

This increased funding will help to address gaps and community needs to provide improved mental health support and programming.
