Suicide awareness and prevention is an issue within all military branches of service. What events and marketing/educational material are Service Members truly interested in?

1. Reliably connecting those in need with the mountain of resources we've gathered.
2. Eliminating fear and stigmatization associated with seeking help.

#1: We have more on/off post resources then ever before, sometimes overwhelming, but having a local list is defiantly something feasible.
#2: You're absolutely correct and this is an ongoing battle we are unfortunately faced with.

Education, counseling, Vet2Vet seminars/meetings. Having someone watch out for you and mentor you. KNOW that you are not alone, and there's folks to talk/help you!
