As part of Suicide Prevention Awareness Week, the VA Providence Suicide Prevention Team hosted a Suicide Prevention Walk and Resource Fair.
Veterans, employees, and community partners walked together to honor those impacted by suicide and to raise awareness about available resources. At the resource fair, attendees connected with VA mental health staff, community providers, and peer support specialists to learn about crisis response, coping strategies, and ongoing care options. The event emphasized the message that suicide prevention is everyone’s responsibility, and that no Veteran should ever feel alone.
