September is National Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month — In a four-part series we’ll talk specifically about suicide in the Veteran community. Part 1: RVP is here to offer support, share data and build a community where Veterans, Service Members, their friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention/postvention and to seek help. We will explore the factors contributing to veteran suicide, discuss the importance of accessible mental health resources, and highlight the critical role of community support. If you’re a Veteran who’s struggling, don’t wait for your problems to become overwhelming. Reach out today to get the support you need. The Veterans Crisis Line is available 24/7.

Improved delivery of Mental Health Care is one of the Department of Defense’s key strategies to mitigate suicide.

On Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate alongside the DoD, the passage of the 19th Amendment, the brave men and women who fought for universal suffrage, and the further steps toward gender equality beyond the right to vote. This year we highlight, “One Piece at a Time,” reflecting on the diverse individuals, changes, and progress that contributed to women gaining the right to vote.

Burn, Zitkala-Sa, Nina Otero-Warren, and Tye Leung Schulze. https://lnkd.in/gGX_QAjn

Dr. Terry is giving us the 411 on “Cannabis Use Disorder” in today’s Continuing Education Course! From his research Dr. Terry shared that cannabis use disorder is increasing in Veterans, yet no medications are available for its treatment. Given increased access and perception of decreased risk, recognition of cannabis use disorder can be difficult for individuals and their Providers. Furthermore, identification of cannabis withdrawal symptoms have high overlap with neuropsychiatric disorder symptoms, creating a challenge in their attribution to cannabis use. 🤯 Lots to learn when caring for Veterans, Service Members and thier Loved Ones. We’ll see you at our next CE course in September! For more info on upcoming RVP CE offerings check out our site -https://lnkd.in/gAv85R5T
