SSG Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program
In the event of a mental health crisis, especially outside of normal business hours, please dial 988, then press 1, or text 838255.
If you, or a Veteran or military family member that you know is experiencing difficulties, trauma-related symptoms, or needs emotional support, we're here to help.
Our SSG Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program builds upon the VA’s public health’s approach in combining clinical and community-based interventions to prevent Veteran suicide for those inside and outside of VA health care. Our approach in ending Veteran suicide includes prevention-based outreach efforts, case management services including employment, health care coordination, and verified outside agency referrals to develop individual integrated care plans carefully planned for every Veteran’s specific needs. Additionally, we provide a nontraditional and innovative approach to improving physical and emotional health and well-being with our on-site Fitness & Health Center (Cohesion). Within the fitness and health center, our health & wellness specialists focus on identifying Veterans in crisis and work alongside our peer support specialists and case managers to use physical fitness, meditation, massage therapy, acupuncture, and other physical and mindful resources to decrease feelings of suicide.
Through our additional Agency efforts, we also offer peer-to-peer support services for Veterans that serve as role models and strong resources to assist Veterans throughout their care plans.
For assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
