September is Suicide Prevention Month, a time to raise greater awareness of resources for Army Soldiers, Civilians and Family members who may need crisis support or want to help someone they know. The Army’s SPM theme for 2024 is “We Are Stronger Together. Connect to Protect.” This theme underscores the importance of connecting with people we trust because individuals who have strong, supportive relationships have a lower risk for suicide.
