Through FTF, we’re working to break the stigma surrounding suicide in the military community by raising awareness and fostering real, open conversations.

[WeFaceTheFight @WeFaceTheFight]

Only 26% of service members had a firearms suicide prevention plan before training. Two months after @OverwatchProj training, 68% did. What would it take to make that the standard at every military installation, not the exception? Read the new study:

Breaking the stigma around struggling is not a slogan. It is prevention.

The Special Forces Foundation, a Face The Fight coalition member, has trained its team in crisis prevention care, equipping more people to recognize the signs and reach out before it's too late.

[WeFaceTheFight @WeFaceTheFight]

We often treat physical injuries as urgent and mental health as something that can wait. For some, that gap can be dangerous.

#NationalWellnessMonth is a good time to remember that mental health deserves the same care as physical health.

Prevention cannot wait for someone to ask for help.

@STRONGSTARTrain's free Lethal Means Safety (LMS) workshop teaches you how to support veterans through voluntary safe firearm storage, before crisis occurs.

Mental health care reaches further when built around the people it serves.

With support from FTF, @Centerstone delivers counseling and crisis support for service members, veterans, families, and caregivers, reaching underserved communities.

[WeFaceTheFight @WeFaceTheFight]

250,000+ lethal means safety conversations to help protect veterans and service members in crisis.

That is what showing up looks like.

"You're not alone. Reach out. Say something. There's a lot of love here for you."

@SarHeadquarters shares an important reminder that connection and support matter in the fight to prevent veteran suicide.

This work takes all of us.

[WeFaceTheFight @WeFaceTheFight]

You don't always have to know the right thing to say.

@CrisisTextLine and Face The Fight built a guide to help you figure it out.

Trained Crisis Counselors are also available anytime. To connect, text SERVE or SERVICIO to 741741.

@TraceAdkins @opry Thank you for using your music to help more people understand what is at stake, and what is possible. A night like this reaches people in a way that lasts. See everyone at the @opry!

Transitioning out, or want to stand in the gap for someone who is?

@OnwardOps connects service members with a peer sponsor, and trains volunteers to serve as one.

[WeFaceTheFight @WeFaceTheFight]

The deadliest gap in veteran suicide is the first year after discharge.

Face the Fight helps bridge that gap by funding @OnwardOps peer sponsors who walk service members into care before crisis hits.

New evidence says it works.

@rirvinefound Turning "face the challenge, together" into trained, confident intervention is exactly the goal.
Thank you for the work you're doing to get there.

We’re raising awareness and support for veterans as we join Face the Fight in their mission to help end veteran suicide. 💛

Presented by @Humana and supported by @WeFaceTheFight.

[WeFaceTheFight @WeFaceTheFight]

Organizations like @MilitaryELeague remind us that looking out for one another doesn't have to be complicated.

Checking in on a friend in a game lobby, noticing when someone's gone quiet, or reaching out, are small actions that help strengthen the communities veterans rely on.

[WeFaceTheFight @WeFaceTheFight]

A single training on lethal means safety should become a lasting practice.

The Denver Research Institute, supported by Face the Fight, is investigating how community healthcare organizations can integrate it into standard clinical care.
