We were very honoured to have Senator Denise Batters join us as one of the speakers at the Journey to Hope fundraising walk event on September 27, 2014. She conveyed a strong message of hope, healing, honouring and support for those who have been left behind by suicide.
Senator Denise Batters is a strong supporter and champion of mental health and suicide prevention. Since 2010, she has helped organize charity golf tournaments that have raised a total of $121,000 in honour of her late husband, former Member of Parliament Dave Batters, who fought anxiety and depression. The funds raised were used to produce and broadcast the following television commercial focusing on awareness about depression and suicide.
