Five-site VA suicide-prevention pilot

If enacted, VA would set up a five-site "Zero Suicide Initiative" pilot within 180 days. One site must mainly serve veterans in rural or remote areas. VA would name 15 candidate sites within 180 days and pick the final five within 270 days. Each site would select 5–10 staff leaders for at least ten weeks of training, including a two-day Zero Suicide Academy and a team self-study. The pilot would run five years and could be extended up to two more years with 180 days' notice. VA would report on progress and outcomes starting within two years of program start and in a final report within one year after the pilot ends.
