September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and as a member of @VetAffairsDems, I’m working to end our country’s Veteran suicide crisis. Every day, 20 Veterans die by suicide in the United States – one life lost to suicide is one too many.pic.twitter.com/XGEInlDrr7
We must ensure every Veteran knows he or she has a place to turn for help. Our Support for Suicide Prevention Coordinators Act passed the House in May. It will help give VA employees the tools & resources they need to provide Veterans with life-saving mental health resources.
If you or a Veteran you know is in need of support, call the Veterans Crisis Line at 1(800) 273-8255 and press 1, or text 838-255.
Great work! And let’s also work hard to keep our troops safe from John Bolton’s plans to go to war with Iran.
Just as soon as you all stop saying "20 veterans a day" and change it to "5 veterans a day", then come on back and let us know. We will know then that you are onto something.
69% of these Veterans suicides are over age 50
They no longer use the VA
They’re most often VIETNAM #Veterans
American has been mislead to believe it’s Young
IRAQ AFGHAN Vets claiming PTSD
They’ve always been at LOWEST risk of Suicide
Can’t we focus on elder vets in need?
