“Bittersweet,” from VA’s Office for Suicide Prevention, shows the importance of support from family and friends for Veterans and Servicemembers going through a difficult time. Most of us navigate changes in life — such as sending a child off to college, retiring, or dealing with the loss of a loved one — which can sometimes contribute to feelings of hopelessness or even thoughts of suicide. That’s why support from loved ones, and from others in our communities, can make a big difference.
VA has built the Nation’s largest, most comprehensive mental health care and suicide prevention program to end Veteran suicide. This integrated effort connects Veterans, Servicemembers, and their families with services and support across VA through VA medical centers, Vet Centers, outpatient clinics, and Suicide Prevention Coordinators. Learn more about the resources available to Veterans and Service members in crisis, and to their friends and families, at VeteransCrisisLine.net.
