Suicide Prevention

VCSA highlights the role of NCOs in Suicide Prevention: Gen Peter W. Chiarelli, VCSA, January 2010 says: I am asking the backbone of our Army, our NCO Corps, and other green-tab leaders and supervisors, to troop the line, walk through the motor-pool, stop by the barracks, eat a meal in the dining facility, and visit the guard post at midnight. Look each and every Soldier in the eye. Convey the message that each one is valued by our Army, their families and friends, and our Nation. Remind Soldiers that their Army remains committed to help, support, and assist them to meet hardships head-on, no matter the struggle, stressor, or challenge.
