To Stop the Epidemic of Veteran & First Responder Suicide

Every 65 minutes a veteran commits suicide.  Suicide is never the solution, but the traumas

of war have left devastating side effects. The invisible and physical wounds from Post-

Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are 

debilitating. When combined with a litany of side effects from service to country, such as 

severe depression, suicidal ideation, sleep apnea, night terrors, relationship issues, 

self-medication, seclusion, legal and/or financial issues, and hopelessness, it should 

serve as no surprise that the statistical data for the number of suicides in the military and 

first responder community remains at an all-time high. 

For the past 19 years, American Military Family (AMF) has been answering the call by providing a reprieve from their many stresses as we address their physical, mental, and emotional wounds, thereby providing them with the necessary services and resources they urgently need.
