OUR BRAVEST AMERICANS NEED GREATER CONNECTION TO SAVE THEM FROM SUICIDE.

WHO IS WARRIOR CALL:

We are a network of former active-duty service members and veterans, their friends and families whose aim is to save lives and curtail suicides among those who served the nation

WHAT WE DO:

We spur greater connection. We make a call to a warrior -- to veterans and service members who may be isolated and disconnected from services. We steer them to services. We encourage all Americans to make these warrior calls. We save lives.

WHY WARRIOR CALL IS ESSENTIAL:

Many of those who are suffering are not seeking help or treatment, thus reinforcing the need for a call to these warriors from a former battle buddy, friend or family member.

 

  • Up to two-thirds of veterans who take their own lives have had no contact with the Department of Veterans Affairs. 


  • The COVID pandemic has only increased isolation and disconnection. 


  • According to the VA, researchers have identified social isolation as "arguably the strongest and most reliable predictor of suicidal ideation, [suicide] attempts and lethal suicidal behavior." 


  • The rapid unraveling of Afghanistan has spurred anguish and frustration among those  who served there.


  •  Invisible wounds linked to an underlying and undiagnosed traumatic brain injury can mirror many mental health conditions, underscoring the need to connect with service members and veterans and steer them to services 

HOW YOU CAN HELP – MAKE A WARRIOR CALL:

Whether you are a veteran, active-duty service member, family member or friend, you can make a difference by connecting with someone who is wearing or who has worn the uniform. Connecting can facilitate honest dialogue, create a desire to stay in contact and help define a viable path forward..

  

Here’s what to do:

  • 1) Make a call to a warrior.
  • 2) Have an honest conversation. See how they are doing.
  • 3) Steer the warrior to resources. Connect them with Vets4Warriors, a clearinghouse for resources. Their contact information is here.
