The author use many examples of people suicide, photos, Youtube links, and links for more online reading. In addition, the narrative of people and conduct the author’s research.
The first quote is “Eleven people attempted suicide in one night and the isolated Attawapiskat First Nation in northern Ontario became Canada's most talked about story. A week later five children tried to take their owns lives too.” It shows the mental emergency is serious in Canada.
Another quote is "When we go to the health centre for example after hours the staff on duty would probably only be a nurse and an LPN, or a doctor on call or maybe an ambulance, that would be the kind of service available after hours. There is none for mental health or addictions. When families are experiencing PTSD and other stresses, they are having a really hard time, there is no one, really." It shows the lake of support of mental support is a big issue for people. Government should offer more resource for mental health and solve mental issue which is already as a state emergency.
Offer more education, mental health advisory and treatment for people. Following the reports, offer more actions.
The lack of resource and supporting for mental health and also little actions for the emergency. Especially in many Aboriginal communities which are high rates of poverty, ill health and family breakdown. Media reports reported that Children and youth are most at risk and influenced by these factors.
The mental health is a crisis and the response is not enough for supporting. Many examples and narrative are shows the situations. Every single person have affected by the suicide and the problem was worse and worse. There were many reports about the issue but just little action for solving the problem.
