The DOD and RAF Lakenheath prioritize su***de prevention throughout the year as a critical component of Total Force strength and readiness.

Each September, during Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, the DOD spotlights the importance of su***de 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.
