Veteran Suicide Prevention
Veteran suicide prevention resources, crisis support, VA S.A.V.E. training, community connection, caregiver support, and practical ways to help before crisis.
Veteran suicide prevention belongs on Self Growth Videos as a life-and-death support shelf, not as motivation content. The latest VA report release says 6,398 veterans died by suicide in 2023, and most were not receiving VA health care in the last year of life. That means community matters.
If a veteran is in crisis or you are worried about one, contact the Veterans Crisis Line by dialing 988 then pressing 1, texting 838255, or using the online chat.
Use Wounded Veterans: What More Can Be Done? as the starting article, then use the Veteran Support Action Toolkit for plain-language scripts, weekly check-ins, and official crisis/resource doors. Then connect to Veterans, Wounded Veterans, Elder Veterans, Purpose After the Mission, VA Suicide Prevention, and VA S.A.V.E. training.
The practical standard is simple: notice, ask, stay close, and connect the veteran to qualified help.
