Applications are now open for grant funding on suicide prevention or life promotion initiatives in the community.
Jennifer Whalen with the Northern Health Region says the idea for the fund came to be after the Hope North Suicide Prevention Committee in Thompson ceased operations this past year.
Whalen explains the types of projects that would be considered for funding include suicide prevention, intervention, post-vention, and life promotion.
Proposals for projects that would take place between April of next year and March 2024 are to be submitted by March 1st.
For more information, listen to Thompson Today at 12:40 and 5:10 this afternoon.
