We appreciate your service to our country.

Whether short-term or long, deployment is a stressful time for all. We often receive questions regarding suicide prevention resources for military members and their families. We have identified the following helpful resources. Please remember, care is not a one-size fits all and the best care is coordinated care between primary care and behavioral health care.

NEW!

Navy Personnel Command – Suicide Prevention
“Starting in September and throughout FY-18, the Every Sailor, Every Day campaign will promote new tools that empower Sailors and their families to better recognize warning signs, start conversations, take the right actions to intervene and practice ongoing safety. Look out for the new 1 Small ACT Toolkit, as well as new posters, graphics and tips that help you identify warning signs, decrease risk during times of increased stress, and promote new resources to help Sailors recover from psychological or emotional crises. Visit the Every Sailor, Every Day webpages for more information and resources.”
