Linda plays a key role in the operation of Jacks Place. This organization operates around the
clock to support individuals who are at imminent risk of suicide. Currently, the only option
for those in crisis is public mental health services, which face overwhelming demand and
significant systemic challenges.

Support workers must understand the needs of people considering suicide even after the
imminent risk has passed.

Linda displayed a genuine passion to assist people in need.

Thank you Linda for an informative, interesting and thought provoking, presentation. Thank
you also to our members and guests who added to the presentation with a good range of
questions.
