Today at 2 p.m. EDT
Learn how to be there for the Veterans and service members in your life
Are you unsure how to support a Veteran or service member going through a difficult time? Helping someone does not require a grand gesture. Small acts – calling a friend or grabbing coffee – can make a big impact.
Learn how you can play a role in preventing suicide by joining VA and AMVETS for a Facebook Live event today. Joe Chenelly, Executive Director of AMVETS, and Megan McCarthy, Deputy Director, Suicide Prevention, VA Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, will discuss the challenges that Veterans face, signs of crisis and where to go when you or someone you know needs help.
Participating is easy.
