#SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth: While statistically women are less likely than men to be at risk of suicide, the suicide rate among female service members has increased at twice the pace of male service members, according to research by RAND. Identifying and understanding the unique challenges women in the military face is an important first step to affecting positive change. In partnership with Westat, #TeamAG supports the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services (DACOWITS), one of the United States Department of Defense’s longest-standing Federal Advisory Committees. DACOWITS is tasked with developing independent advice and recommendations for the Secretary of Defense to improve the well-being of women in the U.S. Armed Forces. Over the past year, our #TeamAG researchers have supported the Committee’s work on a range of topics, including the recruitment, retention, integration, well-being, and treatment of women in service. Outcomes from these comprehensive efforts help drive DACOWITS’ work and recommendations, enabling DoD and Military Service leadership to make data-informed policy decisions to better serve women in the military.

🚴♂️ Christopher Jachimiec Rides for Air Force Heritage! 🚴♂️ Today, #AG’s Senior Management Analyst Christopher Jachimiec begins a four-day, 340-mile “Memorial to Memorial” bike ride from the Wright Brothers Memorial in Kitty Hawk, NC, to the Air Force Memorial in Washington, DC in honor of the US Air Force. As one of four Wounded Warrior Project riders sponsored by the Air & Space Forces Association, Chris will be joined by another 200+ riders celebrating the history and contributions of the United States Air Force since the Wright Brothers first took to the skies.

Today, we remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the heroism of the first responders who answered the call, and the resilience of our nation. To all of the first responders who showed such courage in the face of tragedy on that day - and to all who have continued to protect and serve every day since - thank you for your bravery, selflessness, and service. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

As specialists at the leading edge of the #SuicidePrevention sector, we’re proud to meet the full demand of the mission to reduce suicide through our support of powerful suicide prevention initiatives from across our portfolio. On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we’re spotlighting our amazing stakeholder engagement team for their exceptional logistical and technical support for two high-impact suicide prevention conferences this past June: ✨ In close partnership with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC), and the Education Development Center (EDC), #TeamAG provided exceptional logistical, operational, and technical services for a Zero Suicide Convening, bringing leaders together to shape strategies and action steps to scale Zero Suicide for safer suicide care practices with fidelity in healthcare. 💡 Within 24 hours, the team pivoted their support to another powerful SAMHSA engagement: The National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and Zero Suicide Grantee Meeting, a gathering of 150+ grantees from across the U.S. and its territories to implement suicide prevention programs focused on adults—especially older adults, those in rural areas, and American Indian and Alaska Native communities—while addressing the Surgeon General's 2021 Call to Action. We’re proud of #TeamAG’s hard work and the lasting #impact these initiatives will have in expanding equitable access to mental health and suicide prevention services, especially for underserved communities. #SavingLives💜🩵 #SuicidePrevention #Awareness #Hope #TeamAG #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealth #BehavioralHealth #PublicHealth #VeteranSuicidePrevention #EmbraceChange #FocusOnImpact

Yesterday was the first annual #988Day, a new, annual tradition powered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to raise awareness about the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. 988 offers 24/7 access to trained crisis counselors who can help people experiencing mental health-related distress. As a long-time partner to SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), A-G Associates is proud to have helped steward this groundbreaking crisis support initiative over the year. From its early days of ideation and public launch to the landmark #988 Lifeline Conference in Chicago this past April that was attended by 1,200+ SAMHSA stakeholders, crisis support subject matter experts, grantees, and industry leaders over 3 days, #TeamAG is proud to have been part of such an important #PublicHealth initiative providing round-the-clock, judgment-free, science-backed support for mental health, substance abuse, and suicide-related crises. We’re thrilled to see awareness of this impactful resource grow amidst buzz from across diverse communities. If you or someone you know needs access to immediate crisis support, help is always available to you by text, call, or chat by dialing 988. #SuicidePrevention #PublicHealth #PublicSafety #MentalHealth #AG #EmbraceChange #FocusOnImpact

#SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth: As a continuation of our hashtag #SafeStorageWeek conversations about the vital importance of secure firearm storage in preventing Veteran suicide, today we’re sharing another #free online course produced by our friends at PsychArmor . Narrated by A-G Associates’ own clinical psychologist Dr Ted C. Bonar, PsyD, and Dr Heidi Kraft, this short, engaging course aims to educate clinicians on the importance of the intersection between military culture and the culture of firearm owners and gives guidance on how to approach Veteran patients with confidence around these critically important conversations. While this course is oriented to medical professionals and clinical practitioners, anyone will benefit from the knowledge shared between these two thought leaders.

September is #SuicidePreventionMonth, a time to promote understanding about the importance of mental health, raise awareness about available resources and support systems, and encourage confident, compassionate action in bringing hope and healing to those at risk of suicide. Suicide is a complex problem with no single cause and no single solution, but we can all play a role in effective suicide prevention efforts. At A-G Associates, we’re proud to bring together subject matter experts, those with lived experience, behavioral health specialists, sociologists, psychologists, data scientists, thought leaders, researchers, and public health leaders to meet the full demand of the mission to directly address the problem of suicide. Follow along as we share support resources, educational content, trainings, tools, personal stories, and more throughout the month of September. Together, we can save lives. #SuicidePrevention #Awareness #Hope #TeamAG #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealth #BehavioralHealth #PublicHealth #VeteranSuicidePrevention #EmbraceChange #FocusOnImpact #LivedExperience
