The Little Rock Vet Center employs staff that are trained in helping to prevent suicide by Veterans, service members, and their family members. Vet Center staff are here to provide nonjudgmental support to help you or your family member deal with both acute crisis situations or supportive counseling to assist with managing your symptoms while you’re on your journey to emotional wellness. The Little Rock Vet Center addresses suicide prevention in the following ways: 

• Trainings to assist community members, including Veterans and service members, in becoming better equipped to reach others who are in need of help.  
• Referrals to needed services within the community—both within VA and in the private sector.  
• Providing risk assessments for Veterans and service members to evaluate their level of care needed.  
• Development of safety plans to assist with suicide prevention, including partnering with local community stakeholders to present Project Life Force programming to groups.
