Someone in your life may one day need help. Would you know what to say?

ASIST (Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training) is a two-day, interactive workshop that teaches participants how to recognize when someone may be thinking about su***de, intervene safely, and help create a plan that supports their immediate safety.

Whether you're a healthcare professional, teacher, coach, caregiver, volunteer, or simply someone who wants to be prepared to help, ASIST provides practical, hands-on skills you can use with confidence.

📅 July 6 & 7, 2026
📍 Owen Sound
🕣 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. both days
🍽️ Catered lunch provided by Fresh Roots Cafe
💲 $250 + HST

Participants must attend both days.

Together, we can build a community where more people know how to recognize risk, respond with confidence, and help save lives.

Behind every walker is a story.

Some walk in memory. Some walk in support. Some walk so others know they are not alone.

This year's Walk for Courage takes place July 25 in Owen Sound, Hanover, and virtually across the region.

Watch the video. Share it. Then join us.

If you're unable to participate but would still like to support mental health awareness and education in Grey Bruce, please consider making a donation.

Together, we can take steps toward a better tomorrow.

Father's Day is a time to reflect on what it truly means to be a dad, and how we can support the next generation. This year, it lands at the end of Men's Mental Health Week. A week that doesn't often get enough attention.

Yesterday, Jon Farmer and Shaun Dixon of CMHA Grey Bruce's Men's Program joined Dave Carr on The Open Line to talk about fatherhood, healthy masculinity, positive parenting, and raising emotionally intelligent kids.

Their conversation highlights the importance of connection, vulnerability, and creating spaces where dads can learn and grow together.

Let's keep the conversation going, because strong, supported dads and men, help raise strong, supported children.
