Dear readers:

Here’s another great resource for you:

The Department of Veterans Affairs is expanding its efforts to prevent suicide through several new initiatives that increase the availability of services for Veterans, Service Members and their families. Now, in addition to the Veterans Crisis Line (1-800-273-8255 and Press 1) and online chat, Veterans and Service Members in crisis—and their friends and families—may text free of charge to 83-8255 to receive confidential, personal and immediate support. The text service is available, like the Veterans Crisis Line and online chat, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and connects a user with a specially trained VA professional.

Visit the National Resource Directory for more information about programs and organizations dedicated to preventing suicide.
