VA, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and state leaders from seven states came together Feb. 6-8 for the inaugural Governor’s Challenge to Prevent Suicide Among Service Members, Veterans and their Families.
To help prevent Veteran suicide, we are partnering with The Independence Fund to reunite Veterans with their units, using the strength of their common bonds to help overcome post-military challenges.
This announcement represents the latest example of VA’s commitment to working closely with nonprofit organizations and other community partners to identify new and innovative ways to support Veterans’ health and well being.
The Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Paralympics, a division of the United States Olympic Committee, announced the Olympic Opportunity Fund in 2010.
