HOw We Got Here
Entering the fight against veteran suicide
We are committed to building an expansive coalition of corporate, nonprofit, and government liaisons, each devoted to combating the stigma surrounding veteran suicide—with an aspirational goal of reducing veteran suicide in half by 2030.
Looking Ahead
While acknowledging the progress made this year, we know this is just beginning.
The Face the Fight coalition is working to challenge and ultimately break the stigmas surrounding suicide by encouraging open conversation around the topic. Facing the reality of veteran suicide is a struggle, but there’s hope in facing this fight together.
