A6: WWP’s Warrior Care Network (WCN) helps reduce risk for suicide. WCN provides a year’s worth of treatment in 2 weeks at no cost to the Veteran. There are treatments that work and there is hope! #WWPChat #CombatStigma
Q6: What resources do you provide to service members and veterans who may be at risk for suicide? #WWPChat #CombatStigma
A3: You want to look for changes in mood, engaging in risky behaviors, eating/sleeping more or less, isolating from friends and family, talking about feeling like they are a burden, or the world would be better off without them. #WWPChat #CombatStigma
Q3: Are there signs that someone is at risk for suicide that a family member, friend or coworker can look for? #WWPChat #CombatStigma
A2: We know it can be scary but you can help prevent suicide by directly asking the person you are concerned about if they are thinking about suicide and connecting them to resources that can help-like the Veterans crisis line by dialing 988 or texting 838255 #CombatStigma
Q2: What should someone do if they are in crisis or they are concerned about a family member or friend being at risk for suicide? #WWPChat #CombatStigma
A1: We want to elevate conversations about mental health and suicide prevention. We want people to feel as comfortable talking about their mental health as they do about their physical health #CombatStigma #WWPChat
Q1: What is National Suicide Prevention Month and how can people get involved? #WWPChat #CombatStigma

"WWP has been there in every way shape or form for me. They literally saved my life." Warrior Dan Miller felt he had failed as a Marine since he was unable to bring all of his brothers home. See how WWP helped Dan find hope & healing from the invisible wounds of war.

A1: 75% of Warriors report that they deal with symptoms of PTSD, such as anger, sleep issues, heightened anxiety, and outbursts. These are a result of your brain processing events without you even realizing it. It does not mean you are broken.
A2: People who have had these experiences need to retrain their brain to process them appropriately. While this does require work, it means that feeling better is possible. #WWPChat #CombatStigma
