Jan introduced our guest speaker, Karen Cumming, who had been a speaker at our club several years ago and is one of the 100 folks selected to go to Mars. 
 
Karen studied Yoga/meditation to help deal with stress, a condition that many of us face. She also studied Health and Wellness at Centennial College and is hoping to expand her experience and offer support and training to groups around the world, focusing on preventing suicide through a program called safeTalk. 
 
SafeTalk is a 3 hour workshop to increase awareness of the signs of impending suicide and the four basic steps to create a life-saving connection.
 
Karen explained a potential partnership with Rotary clubs. For more information contact her at karencumming@gmail.com or call 289 235 7800.
