Todd’s latest effort to bring an easy to remember three-digit suicide prevention number to Canada (988) resulted in the passage of a unanimous consent motion in the House of Commons. Todd’s motion led to the creation of a national easy to remember 3-digit suicide prevention hotline – 988, which launched November 2023.
