Burke board to post Suicide Prevention Help Line and create town Facebook page after recent local death
Summary
Following a recent suicide in the community the Burke Town Board voted to post the Suicide Prevention Help Line number on the town website and to open a Facebook page where the information will be available.
Following discussion prompted by a recent suicide in the community, the board decided that the Suicide Prevention Help Line phone number will be posted on the town website and that the town will open a Facebook page where the information will be available. The board recorded the decision as a support measure; no funding allocation or timeline beyond the decision was recorded in the minutes.
Board members framed the step as a low-cost, immediate way to make help resources more visible to residents. Staff were asked to implement the web and social‑media postings; the minutes do not record a named mover for this particular action.
