Abstract: As a health care provider, the military is poised to approach suicide prevention and intervention systemically. While services only reach a fraction of veterans, strides are being made to improve access. Efforts include adding Suicide Prevention Coordinators at military facilities, increasing the number of mental health professionals across military settings, and screening. Another preventative intervention is the use of gatekeepers, individuals who are not clinically trained, but have jobs that put them into routine contact with veterans. Gatekeepers are trained to notice veterans who are presenting with signs of suicide risk and make effective referrals to mental health providers. Services and awareness are growing for young adults in the military who present with suicidal ideation. Suicide appears to be persistent and affects every branch of military, however providing a holistic approach can provide a balanced distribution of resources, information and knowledge.
