It is that time of year to talk about the elephant in the room - too many of our brothers in arms are being taken out of the fight - the best way that we can help is to - call and check on a buddy to day - call a friend - call a family member that you have not spoken to in a while - BE THE REASON SOMEONE SMILES TODAY!
September is National Su***de Prevention Month. Be sure that all of the Veterans in your life know about the new Veterans Crisis Line number, 988. You don’t have to be enrolled in U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits or health care to connect with the Veterans Crisis Line. In 2019, 45,861 adults in the U.S. died by su***de. Of those, 6,261 were Veterans.
You're not alone. If you would rather text or chat online with a VA Su***de Prevention Coordinator, those options are also available:
