The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health launched the largest suicide prevention campaign in its history Thursday, titled 'Not Suicide, Not Today.'

The campaign was also created in consultation with other suicide experts, Aboriginal services at CAMH, clinicians and people who have suffered through suicide ideation and recovered.
