Real change starts with understanding, and for first responders and mental health organizations, that understanding depends on data that does not yet exist in a complete or usable form.Across Canada, suicide data specific to first responders is fragmented, inconsistently tracked, or not publicly available. As a result, it is difficult to identify patterns, understand risk factors, or support effective, evidence-based prevention efforts.This campaign supports the development of a foundational first responder suicide database. The goal is to bring together information that is currently scattered or missing and turn it into a clear, credible data resource that can inform prevention efforts.Your support will help fund:The development and maintenance of a first responder suicide databaseData collection, verification, and analysisAwareness and outreach at mental health conferences and eventsGeneral operating costs for operation of the organizationWe are in the process of obtaining charitable status through the CRA and are not able to provide tax receipts at this time, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.About The Flare Initiative:The Flare Initiative is a Canadian nonprofit focused on reducing first responder suicides through data-driven prevention and education.
