Sept. 10, also known as World Suicide Prevention Day, serves as a reminder of the importance of connection, compassion and looking out for one another.
A simple conversation with somebody who’s going through a hard time can open the door to support. If you know a veteran who may be struggling, take a moment to check in. Listen to them without judgment, let them know you care, and encourage them to reach out for help when they need it.
Together, we can help create a community where veterans know they have someone in their corner.
If you are a veteran in crisis or concerned about one, 24/7, confidential crisis support is available for free. Dial 988, then press 1.
A new DAV survey of more than 4,200 veterans, their family members, caregivers and survivors shows overwhelming support (93%) for protecting veterans’ earned benefits and overwhelming opposition (71%) to the omnibus Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (TCAVA) unless a provision (Section 108) containing historic cuts to veterans benefits is removed.

DAV believes in taking care of America’s veterans—but not by taking away from other veterans. The Take Care of America’s Veterans Act includes critical priorities for veterans and their families. But Congress must not pass TCAVA at the expense of future veterans who are equally entitled to their earned benefits. Congress must remove Section 108 and then pass TCAVA.
