Memorial in Carmel pays tribute to those who died by suicide

A first-of-its-kind memorial is paying tribute to those who died by suicide in the region.

Lucille and Roy Ettere, whose daughter Nicole died by suicide, spearheaded the Garden of Remembrance, which recognizes lives lost to suicide.

It now rests outside of the Putnam County Office Building in Carmel.

Mental Illness & Their Families

NAMI-NYS will be joining mental health advocates, other mental health and prevention organizations, survivors, allies, and community members to promote suicide prevention awareness.
