Westchester County Government - National Suicide Prevention Month

This September, Westchester County is recognizing National Suicide Prevention Month with the creation of a memorial for those who have ended their lives by suicide in Westchester County. The Healing Garden at Ridge Road Park in Hartsdale will help build awareness of suicide prevention, and create a permanent place for reflection for family members and loved ones of those who ended their lives by suicide. The Healing Garden is the result of a planning committee Latimer appointed in 2021 to provide him with recommendations for memorial site, and is introduced in partnership with the Westchester County Departments of Community Mental Health (DCMH), Parks, Recreation and Conservation, NAMI Westchester, and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
