September is Su***de Prevention Month, which speaks to the higher number of and who have been impacted. The statistics are staggering and important to be aware of as behavioral health professionals. ***depreventionmonth

In 2022, the su***de rate among veterans was 34.7 per 100,000, which is more than double the rate of 17.1 per 100,000 among non-veteran adults.

While veterans make up about 6% of the U.S. adult population, they accounted for nearly 14% of all adult su***des from 2017 to 2020.

For women, the age-adjusted su***de rate for veterans was 92% higher than for non-veteran women in 2022 (14.2 vs. 7.4 per 100,000).

For men, the age-adjusted su***de rate for veterans was 44% higher than for non-veteran men (42.7 vs. 29.6 per 100,000).

Studies have repeatedly shown that first responders, including police, firefighters, and EMS, are more likely to die by su***de than in the line of duty.

2023 study found that first responders accounted for 1% of all su***des. A significant percentage of first responder su***des occurred among law enforcement (58%), firefighters (21%), and EMS providers (18%).

This month, Waterview Behavioral Health launched our Mission Reset mental health IOP in order to treat this population of clients who have served our community and country. We have made our services available in person (Wallingford area) and virtually throughout the entire state of CT.

🌟 Prioritizing Mental Health: Finding the Right Treatment for You 🌟

Today, we'd want to talk about something incredibly important: mental health. It’s okay not to be okay, and seeking help is a strong and courageous step. Finding the right treatment can be a journey, but remember, everyone’s path is unique. Whether it's therapy, medication, or holistic approaches like mindfulness and exercise, what works for one person might not work for another—and that’s perfectly okay!

Start by reaching out to a trusted mental health professional who can guide you through your options. Don't hesitate to ask questions and express your needs. It might take some time, but you deserve care that truly resonates with you. Let’s break the stigma and support each other in this journey towards wellness. 💪✨

Reach out to Waterview today and let us be a part of your journey.
