In 2023, the rate of suicide among U.S. veterans was approximately 30% higher than that of non-veteran adults, highlighting the urgent need for effective intervention strategies.
Join us for an enlightening session in the AARP Maryland Brain Health Series as we welcome Leanna Stump, MSW, the Suicide Prevention Coordinator (SPC) for Veterans Affairs Network 5. This event will focus on the critical issue of veteran suicide prevention.
During this session, Leanna will share insights on the challenges faced by veterans, effective prevention strategies, and ways we can all contribute to supporting those who have served our country.
