THE REASON WE ARE PERFORMING IS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT SUICIDE IN THE MILITARY
According to the Centre for Suicide Prevention, 1 suicide impacts 135 lives.
This statistic does NOT account for:
Since 9/11, it is estimated that as many as 150,000 have died by suicide compared to more than 7,000 in combat. Estimates suggest that between 17 to 45 service members die EVERY DAY (approximately 1 to 4 PER HOUR).
Moreover, numerous studies worldwide have established that the contagion effect is real and that responsible conversation, accurate reporting, and increased awareness can significantly lower the risk of further suicides.
LAST YEAR, 146 FAMILY MEMBERS OF ACTIVE DUTY SERVICEMEMBERS DIED BY SUICIDE. 93 were spouses and 53 were dependents.
Furthermore - 125 medications have been approved to treat depression. ALL OF THEM CARRY BLACK BOX WARNINGS that these medications can LEAD TO SUICIDE.
The Angel Force USA, Irreverent Warriors and other veteran service organizations will host a summit STOP SUISILENCE MENTAL HEALTH SUMMIT at Nellis Air Force Base from December 11-12, 2025. This two-day event will unite veterans, mental health professionals, policymakers, community support organizations, and influencers to encourage meaningful discussions, forge broader partnerships, and create a roadmap for GETTING TO ZERO suicides.
Our mission is to STOP SUISILENCE (the avoidance of discussion about suicide), eliminate stigma, and educate the public about the complexities of the issue. Social support and connection are crucial protective factors against suicide.
Engaging the public in recognizing and supporting those at risk through treatment and crisis intervention, preventing reattempts, promoting long-term recovery, and aiding survivors of suicide loss are essential to GETTING TO ZERO.
