Today, the #1 issue facing those who served is veteran suicide, according to the National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report. 17 veterans still die by suicide each day, or more than 6,000 each year. Rate of suicide for veterans is more than 50% higher than that of non-veteran adults.

The American Legion’s Be the One initiative will:

Destigmatize asking for mental health support, creating opportunities for those with mental health issues to speak freely and get the support they need.
Provide peer-to-peer support and resources in local communities.
Deploy FDA-approved therapeutics for veterans to identify issues and find resources for support.

Be the One to:

Ask veterans in your life how they are doing.
Listen when a veteran needs to talk.
Reach out when a veteran is struggling.

Pledge to Be The One at betheone.org by signing up for email updates.
