Spread the Word About Suicide Prevention
September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. It is an excellent time to promote resources available to help prevent suicide and bring awareness to the emotional and mental health issues that lead to suicide. Suicide among our nation’s active-duty military and military veterans currently averages a loss of twenty (20) lives each day. Though this is down from twenty-two (22), it is still far too many. Awareness saves lives and the efforts to promote suicide awareness and prevention are working. We can help save more lives by being proactive in getting the word out on what to look for in someone in emotional distress.
Guillory’s theme is “Catching the Dream for Our Veterans.” Our active-duty military and veterans deserve to dream as you and I do about happy times with family and friends, success in their chosen careers, and the freedom to move about without fear. Let’s do all we can to help them realize their dreams. Promote suicide awareness and prevention!
