Suicide Prevention - A New Resource!

The current suicide statistics in our military are very disturbing.  The Long War has produced many new milestones, but few are as sobering as the growing number of service families shattered by suicide.

In the very brief tenure of VeteranCaregiver.com, we have experienced first-hand multiple instances where genuine personal connection, peer support, and friendship has prevented suicides and guided veterans and caregivers to the appropriate mental health professionals for care.  Many effective, helpful resources exist with the excellent VA Suicide Hotline, live Veteran Chat, and other VA/DoD suicide prevention measures.  Yet, it is often in the form of reaching out to others in friendship and support that the common precursors to potential suicide are identified:  hopelessness, isolation, anger, depression, and feelings of futility. 

We invite you to share this new resource with families in your care, and also encourage your participation on the site using public or private communication tools. Stay in casual, consistent contact for excellent case management. In remote or isolated communities, online help is especially important to Veterans and Caregivers far from VA facilities. Communication often moves offline as friendships or professional relationships evolve.  And, multi-generational wisdom is shared by Veterans and Caregivers for invaluable perspective.

Connection with caring, knowledgeable peopleis making a difference.  Please share this new resource with families under your care for additional outreach and benefit.  Further information is contained in our recent press release.Together we can make a difference!

Please call me with any questions, and thank you for your consideration and participation.
