SPEd Talk: For Suicide Prevention

In 2020, 6,146 veterans died by suicide. Veteran suicides account for 16% of suicide deaths in the U.S. while only making up 7.9% of the entire adult population.  And unfortunately, chances are, you know someone that has died by suicide, asked for help, or navigated mental health services.

It’s time to move the conversation forward. 

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Syracuse Medical Center, and Syracuse University’s D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) invite you to attend the SPEd Talk: for Suicide Prevention Education at the National Veterans Resource Center at the Daniel and Gayle D’Aniello Building.

Join us for an empowering event focused on veteran suicide prevention.  Following our captivating keynote speech, by Army Veteran and Retired NFL Football Player, Alejandro Villanueva, we’ll participate in an interactive panel discussion where your voice matters.  Engage with follow attendees, share personal experiences, and ask thought-provoking questions.  Experience the power of collective support and empathy, fostering a space where every voice is heard.

Don’t miss this life-changing opportunity to make a difference and contribute to the vital mission of preventing veteran suicide.
