Announcing Suicide Prevention Awareness Month Events

August 31, 2023

Dear Rutgers Health faculty, staff, trainees, residents, and students: 

As recently announced, September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness month and we are planning various events to encourage well-being, support each other and increase our awareness of suicide prevention. As we move toward recovery from the pandemic, strong connections at work are important.

Please see the schedule of events, presentations and workshops jointly developed by Rutgers Health, RWJBarnabas Health (RWJBH) and University Hospital (UH) members. 

You may attend events by joining and/or registering using the links embedded within the calendar. Topics include maintaining well-being, staying connected as colleagues and suicide prevention. Our keynote speaker, Kristine Olson, MD, Chief Wellness Officer, Yale New Haven Hospital, will speak on September 14 at noon on “THE POWER PAUSE: Leading Yourself and Others Toward Well-being- for support and connections at work”. Dr. Olson will share insights and strategies to help ourselves and our colleagues stay well as we navigate from stress to success in the work environment. 

We hope that you will join us as we reflect on and discuss these important topics. 

Best regards,

Chantal Brazeau, MD
Chief Wellness Officer
