Veterans
Veterans are disproportionately impacted by suicide due to factors such as depression, substance use, and access to firearms. ND HOPES is tailoring trainings, interventions, resources, and communications for veterans, ensuring that both veterans and those providing their care feel supported and aware of where they can turn for services.​
