september suicide prevention month .
One key thing we know about suicide
prevention is that connections count
over the past year and a half , we've
all faced challenges and we've had to
adapt to a new normal with many of us
feeling more stressed and less
connected with others . We've also been
experiencing challenging events both
within our nation and abroad . These
are difficult times . There's no one
way to act feel or think the most
important thing to do is stay connected .
Reach out and connect with your family
and friends . If things are feeling a
bit heavy for you right now , talk to
them about it . Your family , friends
and teammates also needs you look out
for them . Let them know that you're
here and you care , reach out simply
ask , how are you doing now ? Really ?

significant impact . Today . I ask you

because support is always within reach ,

member or with a trusted resource like
military , one source , a chaplain or
the veterans and military crisis line ,
