Vet Center
Service name
Vet Center service description

We have a team that is trained in helping to prevent suicide by Veterans, service members, and their family members. Our team is 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. We address suicide prevention in the following ways: 

  • Trainings to assist community members, including Veterans and service members, in becoming better equipped to reach others who need 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. 

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.
