The Truth about Veteran Suicide Prevention- Fighting for Veterans Healthcare

View this email in your browser
Dear FFVHC supporter,

We wanted to send you a quick note. An article was just published in the Federal Practitioner that connects the dots on veterans’ suicide.

Here’s the bottom line: 
Proposals to outsource veterans’ mental health services to non VA-providers will result in lower-quality, less-effective care for America’s heroes. Why does it matter?

Because veterans like Bob and Joshua (watch their stories below) need a health care system that knows and cares about them - not one that treats them like lines on a health care company’s shareholder report.

Please read and share this article with your friends and family. The only way we’re going to combat veterans’ suicide is by understanding how to best prevent it.

Sincerely,

Diane Reppun
Secretary

Bob, a Vietnam Veteran and former law enforcement officer, struggled with PTSD - undiagnosed by private sector doctors - for too long.

Joshua, a Veteran of the First Gulf War, battled pain, opioid addiction, and depression. He’s blunt - he says he’d “be dead” without the VA. Watch his story >>
