one of an absolute perception of isolation and loneliness.

However, few people

their daily lives.

No one can be responsible for another individual's feelings or their actions, but knowing the signs of a potential suicide can help put valuable resources into place to prevent it.

Commanders and Supervisors

"Suicide prevention, like all leadership challenges, is a Commander’s program and every leader’s responsibility at all levels. The success of the Army Suicide Prevention Program rests upon proactive, caring and courageous people who recognize the imminent danger and then take immediate action to save a life."
