\"\"<\/a>Mental Wellness and Suicide Prevention Interagency Committee Open House<\/p>\n

The Mental Wellness and Suicide Prevention Interagency Committee (MWSP) hosted an open house on March 11 in Swan River. It was an opportunity to share with the Swan Valley community information about their committee, and the ways they are involved in their communities. In the afternoon, they offered safeTALK training, which educates participants to recognize and engage with people who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide. They then can connect them to appropriate treatment. There have been numerous requests for suicide prevention education in the Parkland, and the MWSP committee is working diligently to provide those opportunities.<\/p>\n

The MWSP committee is active throughout the Parkland with subcommittees in Dauphin, Roblin and Swan River. There are community members from different organizations such as, Prairie Mountain Health, Canadian Mental Health Association, Manitoba Metis Federation and Addictions Manitoba, among others.<\/p>\n
