Under the direction of the National Institute of Mental Health, the Army is working to provide all service men and women in their ranks the tools and assistance they need in order to beat back suicide and not be at risk in a world that is at war. They Army also wants to not only protect the soldier’s lives, but to help protect fellow enlisted men and women from feeling similarly affected, and most of all, wishes to protect the families of those who undergo these traumatic events. By partnering with the National Institute of Mental Health, who itself is working under the National Institute of Health, it is firmly hoped that they will be able to tackle suicide and significantly reduce the growing suicide rate that has trouble the ranks in recent years. Suicide is something that does not need to be an option, and the Army will be there for the individual when he or she needs the same support that he or she has worked so hard to provide the Army. With research and a major effort, changes will be made and the future will be brighter for all Army personnel.
