Sept. 8-14 is National Suicide Prevention Week, and the Student Health and Wellness Team is offering free programming on campus to support students and the campus community. Members of the UB community are urged to “take a minute, save a life.”

• Sept. 11, 4:30-6 p.m.: Yoga to Manage Moods Workshop, Year of Yoga for Every Body, 7 Diefendorf Hall, basement level, South Campus. This Hatha Yoga workshop will allow participants to feel more connected and balanced within their body and mind through gentle movement, breathing and relaxation. No yoga experience is necessary.
