Soldier Suicide: what would be a Solution to You as our Military Men and Woman? What is needed most? I want to listen to your ideas.

Just provide more support outside the military. Provide training and understanding for civilians to recognize and support those who have PTSD, have them watch for the signs of PTSD episodes. The more education that is provided, the better there is for both the SM/Vet and the community (work, family, friends, etc.)

Make more SM understand the symptoms, assist in ways for the one with PTSD isn't lost or alone. Enough with the posters, we know there are Vets/SMs out there with PTSD (my old RDC suffers from it), establish some education or training on how to help when an episode happens (whether its a panic attack, breakdown,etc.)

I think training for a close individual, spouse, parent, sibling, close friend. Someone who can be taught the signs to look for.

There's so much to go into. Better communication with our brothers and sisters, better medical treatment and diagnosis for PTSD, establish local support groups for veterans, etc.
