We are Canadians who want to reduce suicide and its impact in Canada. We represent experts and volunteers, school and community suicide prevention initiatives, mental health workers, researchers, crisis centres and families who have been impacted by suicide. We are survivors of loss. Among us, we have lost children, parents, family members, neighbours, friends, patients and clients. So have most of you. We want to end the silence. We want to ease the suffering, to heal our communities and our neighbours, as we have healed ourselves. We want to prevent others from experiencing such pain and such loss.

Burgers and Bands is an event built in and around our community to not only bring awareness and raise funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, but also to show people in our community that they are not alone. Throughout the 8 hour musical event, we have bands rotating on a 30-45 minute schedule; community services tables; and of course great food and community. Burgers and Bands for Suicide Prevention was created as a way to bring our community together around a cause that has affected far too many people, both young and old in Severna Park.

The Central Alberta Women’s Outreach Society has gone through many transitions over the years. It began in 1984 as an agency (Status of Women) devoted to supporting women dealing with women’s Issues, including family violence. In 1988 the agency changed its name to “The Central Alberta Women’s Outreach Society” and expanded its focus to providing basic support services for women and children in response to an overwhelming need identified in the Red Deer Community. Today, domestic and family abuse continues as a foundation in programming, public service, and public education. Priorities are established to ensure initiatives make the best use of generously contributed resources as the organization addresses their very significant mission. Current priorities are: • Domestic/family abuse • Dealing with the effects of poverty on family, especially children • Access to appropriate affordable housing • Assistance while working with/through the legal system
