mostra di piùI met Dr. Joseph Geraci on the advisory committee through "Face the Fight" a consortium/initiative; with the goal of reducing Veterans' suicide by 50% in 5 years. We review the crucial support mechanisms for veterans during their vulnerable transition period into civilian life, especially focusing on preventing suicide. It's alarming to see the immense challenges young veterans face, carrying double the risk of suicide compared to their peers. Joe shared some brilliant insights, particularly through the "Onward Ops" initiative, a partnership with Google that empowers us all to become certified sponsors and support our veterans more effectively. If you're moved by this cause, I strongly encourage you to visit onwardops.org—every small step truly counts.
One of the most compelling takeaways from our conversation was Joe’s emphasis on the need for empathy and understanding from mental health professionals and every individual in the community. His experience, bridging military service and psychology, is a powerful testament to how leadership and support can transform lives. Joe spoke about the strategic use of predictive analytics to identify at-risk veterans and the necessity of firearm safety in suicide prevention efforts. It's not just about evidence-based treatments; it's about creating a safe, compassionate space where veterans feel valued and understood. So, let’s rise to the challenge together, acknowledge these brave men and women with more than just words, and take real, heartfelt actions to support their journey.
