Calling all partners: WE got your 6 As a former behavioral health officer and frontline mental health employee in the VA, I know how difficult it is to have lethal means of safety discussions with service members and veterans. However, the most upstream mentality we can have is normalizing conversation. At The Wellness Effect, we have created a means to start that conversation for you. Order, an I've got your 6 box. This box allows you to protect your family and yourself in times of crisis. The boxes are sent by loved ones and can be tailored to your loved one. We include wellness items and activities in the boxes the loved one has identified. Also, we have personal pictures and quotes from loved ones on the box. If you'd like to see your swag and/or suicide prevention gear inside the I've got your 6 boxes, share this post, and we will reach out to you. #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #WellnessBox #VeteranSupport #IveGotYour6 #WholeHealth #TheWellnessEffect #SupportVeterans #CommunitySupport #increasethereach
In times of crisis, it's often hard to know what to say or do. That's why we've created the "I've Got Your 6" Wellness Box—designed to support those who have attempted or are at risk of hurting themselves. This special box includes suicide prevention tools and wellness activities to provide comfort and support. The "I've Got Your 6" box is also a lethal means safety tool. It offers a place to securely store a firearm, surrounded by pictures of loved ones, serving as a reminder of the importance of physical safety and family protection. The box does not lock, ensuring easy access for home emergencies while promoting lethal means safety, and is encouraged to be placed in a safe place away from children and immediate access. As a former Behavioral Health Officer, I know firsthand the impact of talking with families post-suicide or attempt. Often, they noticed signs and felt guilty for not acting. Now, there's a tangible tool for those moments—"I've Got Your 6." Together, we can provide hope and support when it's needed most. If you're a nonprofit or an individual who wants to help with these boxes, please repost this or add a comment, and we will reach out to you. Portions of each box go to a selected non-profit partner of your choosing, so hurry and lets partner to fill these boxes. #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #WellnessBox #VeteranSupport #IveGotYour6 #WholeHealth #TheWellnessEffect #SupportVeterans #CommunitySupport #WholeHealth #increasethereach
