Cut veteran suicides and improve access to prevention and care

Warren sets a goal of cutting veteran suicides in half during her first term. Her proposed steps include research on suicide risks tied to military experience, annual mental-health exams during military service, more mental-health specialists at the Defense Department and VA, streamlined appointments, and telehealth for people unable to visit a VA facility. She also proposes making care easier to find and increasing support for military families who lose someone to suicide.
