The Empty Chairs Project:
Loss After Suicide
To mark its 40th anniversary of service to the community, Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service created a unique art project featuring 11 altered chairs. Each chair was made by a community who had lost a loved one to suicide; each chair was made with the purpose of raising awareness about suicide and suicide prevention.
