Suicide Prevention & Tips

We've all heard the statistics. Most of us in and around the veteran population know of someone or have been impacted by suicide. It's not an easy or comfortable conversation which is exactly why we should talk about suicide. In honor of suicide prevention month, this will be an informative presentation with the opportunity to ask questions at the end. Welcome our guest presenter, Chelsea DeSimone LCSW, from the Austin, TX area VA. Chelsea is serving as the Community Engagement and Partnership Coordinator.

Due to the sensitive nature of this talk please remember that there are resources available: Veterans Crisis Line: 988 & Press 1
