For Veterans, young and old, who are dealing with trauma, the holiday season can be incredibly challenging. The biggest battle can be coming home and transitioning to civilian life. So, while we wish everyone a joyful holiday season, keep that special Veteran in your thoughts. Make time to reach out to veterans in your family and community. Remember... as a Veteran or someone seeking help for a Veteran, it’s essential to reinforce the following… — You are not alone. — Seeking help is a strength, not a weakness. — You deserve care for your wounds (both physical and psychological). — There are people who want to help you... including us!

Every day, 17 Veterans lose their lives to suicide—a heartbreaking statistic that demands our immediate attention. These are our heroes, our friends, and our family members, and we owe it to them to take action now. As clinicians, it is our duty to have those tough conversations. Asking direct questions like "Have you thought about killing yourself?" can make all the difference. It's a difficult question, but one that could save a life. Utilizing the ASQ (Ask Suicide-Screening Questions) assessment during every intake can help identify those at risk and ensure they receive the support they need. This simple, yet powerful tool can guide us in providing the care and intervention our Veterans deserve. Let’s stand together and commit to making a difference. Reach out to Stop Soldier Suicide for resources and support. Our Veterans fought for us—it's time we fight for them. #WaypointVets #SuicidePrevention #Veterans #MentalHealth #StopSoldierSuicide #ASQAssessment #SupportOurHeroes
