S1E11: One Step at a Time: VA's Mission to Prevent Veteran Suicide

Suicide has been a rising public health crisis in America, and veterans are some who are at the highest risk. In honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month this September, we're joined by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Director of Suicide Prevention, Dr. Matthew Miller, to learn about how the VA is supporting veterans, caregivers, and families to prevent suicide and promote mental health and recovery. We also get into the challenges around suicide prevention and what we need to do to move forward together.Dr. Matthew Miller is the National Director for Suicide Prevention at the Department of Veterans Affairs. He has previously served as Director of the Veterans Crisis Line and Chief of Mental Health at Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center. He is also a veteran of the U.S. Air Force.Links and InformationCheck out more Fors Marsh MediaConnect or partner with Fors MarshVA.gov/REACHReach the Veterans Crisis Line
