You Can Help Prevent Wisconsin Veteran Suicides!

In 2022, 145 Wisconsin Veterans died by suicide.

Veterans have a higher incidence rate of suicide than the general population.

Veterans tend to be “tough-minded” and not seek out help.

Veterans die by suicide using a firearm 74.5% of the time vs. 53.3% of non-Veterans.

Wisconsin Veteran Suicide Prevention Broadcasting Coalition

Since 2021, our project has obtained more than $500k in grants from Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin and demonstrated that public education, advertising and marketing directed at Veterans can influence attitudes.

The Coalition developed from this project will provide public education targeting Wisconsin Veterans, their family and friends and change behaviors.

The goals of the Coalition are to maintain funding for public education directed toward Veteran suicide prevention which over time will reduce Veteran suicides!
