THE UNDER REPORTED EPIDEMIC OF VETERAN SUICIDE
Veterans accounted for 14.3 percent of all deaths by suicide among adults in the United States. Rates of Suicide were highest among younger Veterans ages 18-34. [VA, 2015]
The majority of traumatic brain injuries sustained by members of the U.S. Armed Forces are classified as mild TBI. [DVBIC, 2019]
To prevent Veteran suicide, we must help reduce Veterans’ risk for suicide before they reach a crisis point and support those Veterans who are in crisis. [VA, 2018]
Between 2001 and 2015, Veterans Affairs has reported an average of approximately 21 suicides per day. This is unacceptable and we must do more to reduce these numbers. [VA, 2015]
