Suicide Prevention Month is a Time for S.A.V.E. Training and Refreshed Knowledge

PHOENIX (September 3, 2024) — September is Suicide Prevention Month. It is a reminder of the importance of being prepared to help others in crisis, especially since military and Veteran communities share increased risks of suicide.

Suicide Prevention Month is an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge because research shows that Veterans have higher suicide rates than the general population. Military members are also more vulnerable to taking their own lives.

As a long-time supporter of military and Veteran communities, TriWest Healthcare Alliance is honored to partner with the Department of Veterans Affairs to promote effective S.A.V.E. training to help reduce suicide.
