Suicide touches many of our lives in a deeply personal way and professionally. Last winter on January 15, 2016, one of our alumni, David Landry ('15) took his life. David was known as a loving, gentle man with so much ahead of him. His death left many of us with questions about how we as social workers, as friends, family members and colleagues, can hold hope while facing all the complexities of our own lives and those of our clients'.
Please join Professor Kirk Woodring for a discussion, Suicidality: Holding Hope as Social Workers on June 14th, 2016 at 12:30 p.m. in the Franklin King House Living Room.
We will observe a minute silence in honor of David Landry. We will come together for learning and support.
