Practical skills for Veterans to lower suicide risk

Veterans in the United States can take steps to manage daily challenges and lower their risk of suicide. Managing stress, frustration, and isolation is key to preventing crises. Many Veterans face common challenges such as adjusting to civilian life, dealing with anger, and feeling disconnected from others.

The VA offers support and resources to help Veterans build practical skills and stay connected. This includes training, apps, and other tools to help manage daily challenges. By establishing a healthy routine, Veterans can improve their overall well-being and reduce their risk of suicide.

Further details on these resources and support are available from the VA, which partners with Veterans to provide assistance and help them build skills to navigate challenges.
