Show full summary
- Service members: There were 523 suicides among members of the Armed Forces in 2023 and an overall rate of 25.6 per 100,000. The designation urges peer calls to reduce dangerous disconnection.
- Veterans: There were 6,407 veteran suicides in 2022 and a veteran suicide rate of 34.7 per 100,000. The day spotlights veterans who often have had no known contact with the Department of Veterans Affairs and promotes outreach.
- Families and communities: Individuals are encouraged to call a warrior, have an honest conversation, and link them with support. The action is framed as a simple way to reconnect isolated people and potentially save lives.
- Research and public health: The resolution highlights invisible wounds like traumatic brain injury and calls for more research into TBI as a possible root cause of suicide.
