September is National Su***de Prevention Month.
It’s well documented that mental issues and su***de plague the military/veteran community.
I’ve lost more people after war than I did to it.
That’s why we all need to work to fight this tide that shatters itself on the shoreline of our community.
This is not just a military/veteran issue.
This is something that affects all of us.
This is a human issue.
It will take all of us to change it.
Social connections save lives.
One phone call, one text can save someone you don’t even know is struggling.
One conversation can save a life.
Sometimes you don’t even know someone’s struggling. Check in on your strong friends .
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
