We collaborate with the local Tampa VA Medical Center Suicide Prevention Coordinator to address your needs.

We work closely with the suicide prevention staff from the local VA Medical Center.

We help Veterans and service members obtain access to services and develop effective ways of coping with stress. 

Our primary focus is your safety. If you feel hopeless, suicidal, or in need of crisis care, just let your counselors know so you can work together to help you feel safer and more optimistic about your future. Should you need the Veteran Crisis Line, in addition to calling them, you can also reach them via confidential chat at Veterans Crisis Line or text 838255. Together, we’ll work to help you stay safe and improve your world. We value you. 

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline also provides free and confidential text and chat features available 24/7.

Your safety is our priority. If you feel hopeless, suicidal, or in need of crisis care, just let your counselor know so you can work together to help you feel safer and more optimistic about your future. We also collaborate with Suicide Prevention Coalitions in multiple counties and refer to the local VA Medical Center.

Are you a Veteran in crisis or concerned about one?  If these symptoms lead to thoughts of death or suicide, it’s important you talk to someone right away.
