Suicide prevention help for Montana veterans and families

Beginning July 1, 2025, the state provides $300,000 to DPHHS for suicide‑prevention grants for two years, ending June 30, 2027. The grants focus on service members, veterans, and their families in Montana. Funds must follow VA‑ and SAMHSA‑supported strategies, expand risk screening and data reviews, add trained peer support, and improve handoffs between military and civilian care. They also fund safe storage outreach, lethal‑means safety training, and safety‑planning guidelines. DPHHS must report results each year in its annual performance report.
