- Greetings Capital Guardians.

00:04.920 --> 00:06.823
September is suicide prevention month.

00:07.690 --> 00:09.710
We're all team members and team mates.

00:09.710 --> 00:11.530
And as team members and team mates,

00:11.530 --> 00:12.940
we have to look out for one another.

00:12.940 --> 00:16.400
Because people are our
most important resource.

00:16.400 --> 00:19.220
And in recognizing and
interacting with people

00:19.220 --> 00:22.200
and soldiers and airmen on a daily basis,

00:22.200 --> 00:25.520
we have to recognize the
symptoms and signs of suicide.

00:25.520 --> 00:27.280
We have to actively listen

00:27.280 --> 00:28.920
to people that are telling us

00:28.920 --> 00:30.980
what's going on in their lives.

00:30.980 --> 00:32.050
But it not only

00:32.050 --> 00:33.560
applies to service members,

00:33.560 --> 00:35.720
it also applies to family members.

00:35.720 --> 00:37.470
As a family community,

00:37.470 --> 00:39.150
we have to bring everything together

00:39.150 --> 00:41.790
and get the people the
help that they need.

00:41.790 --> 00:43.600
There are one or two ways to do this.

00:43.600 --> 00:45.600
You can notify your chain
and command immediately,

00:45.600 --> 00:48.090
or you can contact the hotline.

00:48.090 --> 00:49.660
There are several hotline numbers

00:49.660 --> 00:52.020
that are for people in crises.

00:52.020 --> 00:53.410
One thing I encourage you to do

00:53.410 --> 00:55.120
is stay with the person in crises

00:55.120 --> 00:57.230
and get them the help that they need.

00:57.230 --> 00:59.880
So we're all one team, one fight.

00:59.880 --> 01:02.533
That's what makes us DC&G strong.
