The Power of Community: America's Warrior Partnership and the Fight Against Veteran Suicide

As we enter September, a month dedicated to mental health and wellness, it’s crucial to reflect on the ongoing challenges our veterans face and the importance of community in addressing them. At Mission Roll Call, we believe in the power of collaboration to create meaningful change, and there's no better example of this than America's Warrior Partnership (AWP) .

For the past decade, AWP has been at the forefront of supporting veterans and their families, building a robust community of support that offers direct resources to those in need. Central to this effort is The AWP Network , AWP’s innovative initiative that connects veterans to local, state, and national resources. The AWP Network serves as a bridge, ensuring that veterans receive timely and effective assistance, no matter where they are or what challenges they face. This community-driven approach underscores the belief that preventing veteran suicide requires more than just crisis intervention; it demands a strong, connected support system that can address a wide range of needs.

One of the most critical aspects of AWP's work is its dedication to preventing veteran suicide, a crisis that continues to claim too many lives each day. Through their groundbreaking research initiative, Operation Deep Dive ?, AWP is uncovering the factors contributing to veteran suicide and self-harm, aiming to develop actionable solutions that communities can implement nationwide. The insights gained from Operation Deep Dive? emphasize the importance of proactive engagement and the role that a community-based support system like The AWP Network plays in preventing suicide.

AWP’s success lies in turning these insights into action. By leveraging The AWP Network, they ensure that veterans and their families are connected to resources and communities that foster a sense of belonging and purpose. This comprehensive approach underscores a crucial reality: Preventing veteran suicide involves cultivating an environment where veterans feel supported, valued, and empowered every day.

As AWP celebrates a Decade of Impact, we invite you to participate in Operation Deep Dive ?, engage with The AWP Network , or support local initiatives to become part of the solution.?

Veterans and their families are also encouraged to connect with Mission Roll Call (MRC) to let their voices be heard and help enact positive change. Together, we can ensure that veterans receive the care, respect, and support they’ve earned and that no one feels alone in their struggle. Join us in our commitment to preventing veteran suicide and ensuring that every veteran knows their life is valued and their contributions are appreciated.
