Suicide is a national public health concern that affects all Americans. September is Suicide Prevention Month, a national month-long initiative originated by VA to amplify awareness around suicide prevention and connect Veterans and their supporters with the resources they need.  Suicide is preventable.  Be There emphasizes the role each person plays in preventing Veteran suicide, inspiring hope and action among audiences by encouraging each of them to Be There (even in small ways) to support Veterans, throughout Suicide Prevention Month and each month after. If someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, contact the Veterans Crisis Line to receive free, confidential support and crisis intervention available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, text 838255, or chat online at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat.  Individuals and organizations can learn more at https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/support/be-there
