If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please reach out. There is a new 3 digit number to call or text - 988. If you are a US Veteran, Call 988 and then Press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Lifeline.
According to the 988 website, "In 2020 alone, the US. had one death by suicide about every 11 minutes---and for people aged 10 to 34 years, suicide is the leading cause of death". The suicide rate for Veterans, according to the American Addiction Center, "...is 1.5 times higher than that of the general population". We can save lives !
