He spoke at Gouverneur and Massena high schools and St. Lawrence University on Tuesday, March 27. St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES live-streamed his talks to other area high schools.
The St. Lawrence Suicide Awareness Coalition delivered a presentation with Breisch.
Other sponsors of the events were the Fort Drum Regional Health Planning Organization, Northern Regional Center for Independent Living, ACR Health, the Victims Assistance Center of Jefferson County, Reachout of St. Lawrence County, St. Lawrence University, and the St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES Teachers’ Association.
