An update on efforts by the Veterans Affairs Department to prevent veteran suicides

Summary: The prevention of veteran suicides has been a ongoing and high priority for the Veterans Affairs Department. Efforts go far beyond hotlines and other operational measures, and extend into research. Both research and operational support have a locus at VA's Rocky Mountain Mental Illness Research Education and Clinical Center in Aurora, Colorado. For an update, we turn to the center's director, Dr. Lisa Brenner. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
