Shaping Positive Trends
In the year 2020, a total of 6, 146 veteran suicide deaths were reported, marking a reduction of 343 compared to the previous year. This positive shift is underlined by the unadjusted rate of suicide among U.S veterans in 2020, standing at 3.7 per 100,000. Warrior’s Purse firmly believes that this encouraging news is a result of a multi-faceted approach, with a significant emphasis on the proliferation of peer recovery and resilience support groups.
