Additionally, today SUNY System kicked off a wellness webinar series last week and we hope members of your team can participate. Lastly, attached is an updated Suicide Postvention Guide that was developed with the Office of Mental Health’s Suicide Prevention
Center of New York State. It is a useful resource that can help a campus prepare to respond to a death by suicide.
