The Josh Platzer Society was founded by Jude and Ben Platzer in September 2000, a year after the tragic suicide death of their beloved son Josh.

The purpose of the Society is to educate British Columbians about suicide prevention, to reduce the stigma surrounding suicide and to promote awareness and dialogue on this difficult topic.
