President Donald Trump signed an executive order to enhance efforts to prevent veteran suicides by creating a Cabinet-level task force.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday amping up efforts to prevent veteran suicide.
The panel will be tasked with creating a national plan to more effectively lower the numbers of veteran suicides after numerous programs and billions of dollars allocated to address the problem in recent years have had minimal impact. The plan will include prioritizing related research, encouraging collaboration with the private sector and developing a proposal to offer grants to state and local governments to support efforts to prevent veteran suicide.
The VA attributed the drop-off in outreach to leadership changes and a realignment of suicide-prevention efforts. The agency identified veteran suicide as its highest clinical priority last year and released a 10-year strategy to address the crisis.
