When we talk about su***de prevention, it’s important to hear from the people who have actually lived it.

Tracey will share about losing a student to su***de while working as a teacher, what she wishes she had known then, and how that experience has shaped the way she supports young people today.

Avery will speak from his experiences as a trauma survivor, trans community leader and former police officer, and how he manages his depression.

And Mak will share about living with long-term suicidal thoughts, what those thoughts can actually look like, and what has helped them stay.

You’ll be in a room with people who get it. You’ll make a comfort bag filled with items donated by our community to reach for on hard days. You’ll create a jar of messages of support and encouragement. And you’ll leave with resources and tangible things you can actually use when you need a little extra care.

This Thursday, September 10th
7–9pm, Doors open at 6:45pm
Banff Public Library, Free event

See you there ❤️

Love,

You’ll go home with things to support you after you leave 💛

We’ll hear from people with lived experience, and then spend time caring for ourselves and each other.

You’ll make a comfort bag filled with things donated by our community to reach for on hard days. You’ll create a jar filled with messages of comfort and encouragement to read when your brain is being mean to you. And you’ll leave with resources and tools you can come back to when you need them.

Register through the link in our bio. And if you know someone who might need a room like this, send this post their way. Because btw, sharing it is su***de prevention too.

Love,

Public policy may sound far removed from your life, but for many in our community it impacts their everyday life.

It can shape whether someone can access healthcare. Whether they feel safe at school. Whether they can get the support they need to stay in their community. Whether they feel like they belong here at all.

On September 23, as part of Canmore Pride Festival, we’re bringing Donuts & Conversations to artsPlace for an evening about the human experiences behind public policy.

You’ll hear from people in our community about how policy decisions have impacted their lives, and we’ll make space to listen and better understand experiences different from our own.

This isn’t a political debate. It’s an opportunity to remember that behind every policy conversation are actual humans living with the results of those decisions.

🍩 Wednesday, September 23
⏰ Doors 6:30pm | Event 7–9pm

Come eat a donut, meet your neighbours and listen to some stories that might help you see our community a little differently.

We’ve spent six years building Frankie D’s, and somewhere along the way we realized we were doing a lot of things that probably don’t make much sense if you think our goal is to sell as many donuts as possible. 😂

But that’s never been the goal.

We want to build something where the way we treat people matters just as much as the product we make.

Where our team can say they’re having a hard day instead of putting on a fake smile.

Where growth doesn’t automatically mean working more, sleeping less or compromising what we believe in.

Where we can talk openly about mental health and human rights, even though it means we get hate comments.

Some of these choices have made growing Frankie D’s slower and harder for us. But six years in, we’re still sure we’d rather build something that reflects the world we want to live in than build the biggest donut company.

Which one of the slides surprised you the most? Let us know in the comments below 👇

Pre-orders are officially OPEN for our September 10th Donut Day, and this one falls on World Su***de Prevention Day.

Every box includes:
🍎 our giant apple fritter
💗 rhubarb crumble
🍩 vanilla glazed
💌 + a Conversations That Matter card to help make talking about mental health a little easier

And because Frankie D’s is a social enterprise, your donut order helps fund the work we do all year long, including community conversations about hard stuff over sweet treats, peer support spaces, and direct financial support for people accessing therapy or going through hard times.

Pre order today and then pick up your box in Canmore or Banff on September 10th.

Order now through the link in our bio 🍩

And on September 10th you can eat donuts and know that you’ve helped someone feel a little less alone.

love,

Some conversations are hard to have, but we believe that avoiding them adds to the stigma and isolation so many people feel.

On September 10th, we’re gathering for World Su***de Prevention Day for Donuts and Conversations.

You’ll hear from people with different lived experiences, talk about su***de prevention and what support can actually look like, and spend some time creating something for the moments when life feels especially heavy.

Everyone will make a jar filled with messages of support and leave with a comfort kit made possible by people and organizations across our community.

And yes, there will be plenty of donuts 🍩

This isn’t therapy, and you don’t need to come knowing what to say. You can participate in the ways that feel comfortable for you, including simply being there and listening.
