BoardMissouri National Guard Suicide Prevention Strategy
The Missouri National Guard has developed a comprehensive strategy to prevent suicide among its members. This involves a proactive approach of gathering and analyzing data to identify at-risk demographics and trends related to relationship, financial, and substance abuse issues. The strategy includes enhanced resiliency training with courses on personal finance, employment transition, substance abuse, and positive psychology. It focuses on reducing stigma, promoting help-seeking behavior, and providing support through family assistance centers, chaplaincy, and the Yellow Ribbon Program for reintegration after deployment.
