Suicide Prevention Week

Suicide Prevention Week

September 5-11, 2021, is Suicide Prevention Week, and we wanted to share a few resources with our members.

AUMCC President Jennifer Thurston would like to share this message with our military-connected community:

If you are having thoughts of suicide or experiencing a crisis call 1-800-273-8255 and press option 1, or visit http://www.veteranscrisisline.net/
Mission 22 is dedicated to healing America’s veterans when they need it most — right now. We offer treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury and all of the issues veterans are facing today.
Not all crisis looks the same. Stop Soldier Suicide is our promise to those who are facing it. Our struggles may be loud or silent; all-consuming or passing; during service or any time after; a moment or a lifetime.

VetsinTech and the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) are conducting a nationwide survey of veterans and transitioning service members regarding technology-related skills gained during their time in service and their perceptions of a future career in the technology sector. The survey will provide valuable information to the Department of Defense, the military services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Labor, employers in the technology sector, and veteran-serving non-profit organizations.

The survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Survey responses are anonymous. The survey will close on Tuesday, September 7th.
