Description
This program provides funding to organizations that deliver or coordinate primarily non-clinical suicide prevention services for Veterans and eligible service members at risk of suicide, as well as their families. The goal is to reduce Veteran suicide by addressing mental health, well-being, financial stability, and social support, especially for those not currently engaged with VA care. Supported activities include outreach, mental health screening, education, peer support, emergency clinical services, case management, and assistance accessing VA and other public benefits. The program emphasizes local engagement, innovation, and partnerships, particularly in underserved, rural, tribal, or high-need areas.
