Veteran suicide: Men, Health, Service

Veteran suicide: Men, Health, Service

This program hopes to continue to formally define the relationship between the ideals of manhood, the impacts of military training and service and their relationship with poor mental health or moral injury leading to suicide attempt or death.

We will continue to collect the stories/accounts of male veteran suicide from families or survivors, and use this to identify i) the service-related contexts, ii) post service-related contexts, iii) the family and social support elements, iv) the institutional support elements, and v) mental and physical health elements of men’s suicide or attempted suicide.
