ABOUT NATIONAL ALLIANCE TO END VETERAN SUICIDE

The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 20-22 Veterans per day die from suicide. This is one loss every 72-65 minutes, totaling 7,300-8,030 deaths per year, 18-20 percent of all suicides in the United States. The biggest age spikes are 18-29 years old and over 50 years old. Their vision is to create a network of committed, trained, and recognized volunteer champions actively engaged in addressing the alarming concern of suicide deaths among Veterans.

The commitment of this workshop is for you to discover new ways to look at yourself, the world including your past and present circumstances.
