About Us:
Stop Soldier Suicide is the first national, veteran-founded-and-led 501(c)3 nonprofit focused on military suicide prevention.
Today, the risk of suicide is 50% higher for veterans than for their peers who have not served. It’s simply unacceptable — especially given that most suicides are preventable.
The problem is clear: The systems in place aren’t working. Getting help isn’t as easy as it should be — and trying to navigate a complicated maze of organizations and resources can be overwhelming when you’re in crisis.
We’re here to change that.
WHAT WE DO:
With thousands of veteran service organizations, getting help can be difficult, confusing, and time-consuming.
Stop Soldier Suicide works 1-on-1 with troops, veterans, and military families to help navigate the maze of services, programs and assistance available.
We are an advocate in your corner. We find the right resources for your specific needs and track your progress for two years. And we won’t stop until you get the help you deserve.
Our resources include:
- Mental health, PTSD and/or TBI referrals
- Emergency financial aid
- Housing assistance
- Alternative therapies (HBOT, art therapy, equine therapy, etc.)
- Education / GI Bill Retreats
…and much more
