September is Suicide Prevention month, and the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) empowers communities to take action to support our nation's veterans. Each community across the country plays a collective role in doing so, but as an individual, you might not know what to do or where to start.
You don't need special training to support the veterans in your life who are going through a difficult time. Even seemingly small actions can have a huge impact: preventing suicide begins with just the willingness to be there.
Showing your support can be as simple as sending a text message, inviting a veteran over to catch up, or sharing a positive thought. All are great ways to communicate that you care. Your words could be exactly what a veteran in crisis needs to hear. They could remind someone that many people out there are willing to listen.
