For this edition, multi-talented artist Hubert Proulx has agreed to be a spokesperson for the cause by getting involved in Suicide Prevention Week. As someone who is deeply sensitive to mental health issues, he conveys the importance of supporting one another and reaching out for help when needed.
We live in a society that emphasizes the notion of performance. When I went through a dark and difficult period in my life, my biggest regret is that I didn’t dare talk about it and ask for help. I was scared of what people might think, especially of being condemned for my so-called weakness, and of losing my job as an actor.
It’s important to normalize asking for help because we are not, in fact, alone. We are together and when we keep our eyes, ears, and hearts open to others, we can save lives.
Hubert Proulx,
Suicide Prevention Week 2023 Ambassador
