Every day at the National Veterans Foundation we get calls from Veterans and their families needing help finding the right resources for their situation. We've helped hundreds of thousands find the help they need.

THE FIGHT TO STOP VETERAN SUICIDE

For years, people heard 22 a day. Today, the official number is down to 17. But the crisis is not over.

Progress happens because prevention works and because organizations like the National Veterans Foundation are there when Veterans need real support.

Through the Lifeline for Vets, crisis counseling, and resource connection, we are part of the solution and part of the reason fewer Veterans are being lost to suicide.
