Connect Campaign: You’re Not Alone ( Suicide Awareness and Prevention)

ODVA

The Connect campaign shares the positive outcomes of veterans who have connected to the VA for help with behavioral health concerns, addiction, suicidal ideation, or other traumatic life events to build awareness that veterans who are suffering from symptoms that can lead to suicide, will find help through the VA.
This campaign aims to connect veterans and their families with suicide prevention resources on ODVA’s website where veterans and those who care for them can:
Become aware of suicidal ideation warning signs and when/where to seek crisis services
Learn about preventative and educational resources and information including self-assessment tools and connect to resources.
Below hear from veterans who have courageously sought help from the VA for behavioral health challenges and share their journey and challenges with others in hopes of encouraging others to Make the Connection to the VA.
