For Suicide Prevention Month this September, VA’s Suicide Prevention program co-hosted a Twitter chat with Got Your 6 to discuss both organizations’ initiatives and how individuals can help prevent suicide in their communities. Participants followed along and submitted questions, which VA and Got Your 6 directly responded to using the hashtag #BeThere4Veterans.
