Wiregrass Military Veteran First Responder Coalition

September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month—but prevention is a year-round community mission.

We’re grateful for this powerful reminder that none of us need to have all the answers to make a difference. We simply need to check on our people, ask the question, listen to the answer, know the resources, and stay connected.

One conversation can make a difference💜

Today was a reminder that su***de prevention is a community effort.

It was an honor to spend the day alongside so many dedicated professionals, veterans, first responders, service members, and community partners. All fiercely committed to protecting those who serve.

Thank you to Florida Springs Wellness and Recovery Center, the presenters, sponsors, and everyone who invested their time to strengthen the network of support for our communities.

Every conversation, every partnership, and every person who shows up makes a difference.

Together, we’re building stronger communities 💙🤍❤️🇺🇸

Be sure to join us next Friday for another very important training.

Free CEUs for those who need it.

Su***de remains one of the most urgent challenges facing our Military, Veteran, and First Responder communities. National data shows:

Veterans are 57% more likely to die by su***de than non‑veterans

Firefighters and law enforcement officers experience higher su***de rates than line‑of‑duty deaths

Traumatic Brain Injury increases su***de risk by up to 4x

Lethal means safety interventions can reduce su***de attempts by up to 40%

Florida Springs Wellness & Recovery Center, Wiregrass Military Veteran First Responder Coalition, SAFER Together Alabama, The Fire Watch, and the Haley Brain Wellness Program are bringing together leading experts, evidence‑based training, and frontline resources to change these numbers.
