The Town of Sylvan Lake is set to host a suicide awareness event on Sept.18.

'Let's Taco 'Bout It' is all about raising awareness and spreading the message that suicide is preventable, Youth Asset Facilitator Sierra Fitch said.

"Attending a World Suicide Prevention Day event is a way to show support and connect with others who care about mental health."

"It encourages conversations about suicide and reminds people that no one is alone. You’ll find resources and information that could help someone in need. Most importantly, by showing up, you help spread hope and share the message that suicide can be prevented."

The event is being funded by the Alberta Health Services Injury Prevention Grant and will include:

- Suicide awareness and conversation

- Prevention activities through art
