Missouri Western State University (MoWest) is working with counselors, law enforcement, along with MoWest faculty and staff, to prevent veteran suicide. They hosted its first military suicide prevention training day which focused on the military culture, mental health issues experienced with military service, and stressors that can increase their risk of suicide.
It is great to see a higher education institution raising awareness of this issue, while enhancing people’s ability to recognize a veteran in the early stages of crisis and provide help. Well done MoWest!
