Hollywood talks military suicide prevention in PSA
Published: June 22, 2011
In two new public service announcements for suicide prevention, celebrities Michael Chiklis, Melissa Leo, Terrell Owens, Omar Epps and others encourage servicemembers and their families to get help if they need it.
They "don't know what it's like" to be in the military but they do know "your family needs you; we need you," the stars say in the PSA.
The PSAs will air on The Military Channel, part of Discovery's lineup, starting this week, and directs those in need to a suicide prevention hotline: 1-800-273-TALK.
