As September unfolds, Cayuga Health joins the nation in recognizing Suicide Prevention Month, a critical period dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of mental health and the urgent need for suicide prevention. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide remains one of the leading causes of death across various age groups, particularly among young adults and veterans. The emotional, psychological, and social impacts of suicide are profound, affecting not just individuals but families, friends, and entire communities. In response, Cayuga Health is taking part in the Zero Suicide Initiative. To learn more about this initiative, watch the video at https://ow.ly/YlIp50Trbri
