Su***de Prevention Month, recognized each September, is a VA initiative focused on educating and engaging Veterans, their supporters, VA employees, and local communities about su***de risk and prevention.

At Central Virginia VA Health Care System (CVHCS), the Su***de Prevention Program supports VA’s highest clinical priority: preventing su***de among all Veterans. Through outreach, education, partnerships, training, research, assessment, intervention, and postvention services, we work to ensure Veterans can access support where they live, work, and thrive.

Dolly Parton always held Veterans close to her heart.

Her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, served in the U.S. Army- making her connection to our military community deeply personal.

From supporting our troops and military families to a lifetime of extraordinary philanthropy, Dolly never stopped giving back.

Rest in Peace, Dolly. 🤍
