Involving Family and Loved Ones in Suicide Prevention Efforts
Family and friends play a critical role in a Veteran’s life, especially during difficult times.

- Identify clinical environments where it is important to involve loved ones in the treatment of a Veteran.
- Discuss safety planning with loved ones.
- Apply evidence-informed interventions focused on decreasing the risk of suicide.
