JCFS is honoured to be the first organization to screen this award-winning documentary in Winnipeg

 which aims to shine light on the reality of suicide, and bring hope to those

struggling with suicidal intention. The film touches on the pain of loss, the questions that are left, but most

importantly the many options available to those who can still be saved. The film highlights the strength of

survivors, and this is what’s most important. Equal parts prevention and empowerment, the first ever

suicide-focused program from JCFS strives to lift the veil of stigma and shame from not only the

epidemic, but the word itself. Our hope is that by showing this film, the community will be able to speak

more openly about suicide, thus relieving any tensions and smashing any stigmas associated with this

legitimate community concern.
