The DOD and RAF Lakenheath prioritize suicide prevention throughout the year as a critical component of Total Force strength and readiness.
Each September, during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, the DOD spotlights the importance of suicide prevention efforts and emphasizes resources and support available to the military community.
The Department urges Service members, civilians, and their families to prioritize well-being by seeking support when needed, offering assistance to those who may be struggling, and fostering strong connections within the military community. A connected community is a resilient community.
