Suicide Prevention Committee to launch resource webpage, PSAs and volunteer crisis-response team

Oct 30, 2025

The committee approved plans to create a Suicide Prevention Committee webpage hosted by the health department, asked members to produce short 30-second PSAs for holiday outreach, and discussed organizing a volunteer Crisis Response ("Loss") Team to provide nonprofessional, post-incident support.

The full story

Public-information and public-health staff told the Suicide Prevention Committee they can host a suicide-prevention web page under the health department umbrella and populate it with immediate resources, QR codes and an up-to-date roster. Jaime Perez, the health department public-information officer, said the health department can assemble the page and present a draft by the committee’s next meeting and ideally make a public announcement around Nov. 14, a date the committee flagged for a men’s mental-health outreach tie-in.
