  • What are some of the main drivers of mental health crises and suicide risk among Veterans? What are misperceptions?
  • What barriers do Veterans experience when engaging in traditional mental health services (talk therapy/medication)?
  • How can screening and early intervention help Veterans? Peer Support? Wellness? Animal Assisted Therapy?
  • What else would you like Veterans to know about proactively taking care of mental health and building resilience?
