Suicide Prevention Program
Page Content
Suicide Prevention is a continuum of
awareness, intervention, and postvention to help save lives. Prevention refers
to all efforts that build resilience, reduce stigma, and build awareness of
suicide and related behaviors. Educate Soldiers regarding a no-tolerance policy
for belittling Soldiers who seek behavioral health assistance. Reduce stigma.
Promote a command climate that encourages and enables Soldiers to seek help.
Recognize that seeking help is a sign of strength. Take a personal interest and
know what is going on in subordinate Soldiers’ personal lives. Provide support
where needed. Assure subordinates are aware of assistance agencies and refer
individuals who are identified as having personal or emotional problems to an
appropriate source for help. Foster a sense of responsibility in Soldiers to
provide watchful care and support to peers. Educate Soldiers on the battle buddy
system. Provide support for participation in suicide awareness and prevention
activities. We provide Soldiers with ACE SI training and ASIST training for
Gatekeepers.
