Graphic created for Suicide Prevention Month highlights lethal means safety, an approach focused on reducing access to methods of self-harm during times of crisis. The graphic was created at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Sept. 15, 2025, illustrating a shield that highlights four means of combating suicide. The Department of Defense emphasizes the importance of utilizing awareness and resources to help protect service members and their families. Lethal Means Safety in suicide prevention involves making a method less available and less likely to cause death in a suicide attempt. The concept targets the elements of time and distance to make suicide methods or means, more difficult to access when someone is at risk for suicide.
