Alberta’s government is increasing funding for the Youth Suicide Prevention Grant Program by $1 million

Youth suicides are unimaginable losses with long-lasting impacts on their loved ones and communities. To ensure those struggling have confidence that help is always available when they need it, Alberta’s government is increasing funding for the Youth Suicide Prevention Grant Program by $1 million. This brings total investment to more than $4 million over the next two years. A province-wide initiative, this program focuses on helping youth populations at increased risk and enhancing crucial community and suicide prevention supports. Grant funding will be distributed equitably to selected community organizations across the province that work to expand the capacity of existing suicide-prevention initiatives, or pilot new, innovative initiatives that address identified suicide-prevention gaps and unique community needs. Applications will open on March 4 and be issued on two-year terms starting July 1, 2024.
The application deadline is April 15, 2024. Read Full Release
