The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is excited to announce the upcoming launch of our newly developed education program, Talk Saves Lives: Supporting Our Veterans. This is a free, 60-minute presentation for audiences to learn about the impact of suicide among veterans, along with practical ways to recognize warning signs of suicide, navigate tough conversations, and connect veterans to support in ways that respect their autonomy.
After attending Talk Saves Lives: Supporting Our Veterans, participants will:
- Learn the impact of suicide on the veteran population
- Identify contributors to veteran suicide, as well as protective factors
- Learn how to recognize suicide warning signs in veterans
- Gain confidence in starting a conversation with someone who may be in distress
- Understand ways to seek and offer support and resources for veterans
