New program aims to improve suicide prevention

In 2014, 59 active duty members and 36 Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve and civilians committed suicide. To improve suicide prevention, face-to-face and small group discussions will replace the computer-based annual suicide prevention training across the U.S. Air Force. The endorsed training policy will now be conducted through an hour-long group discussion and interactive video training. (U.S. Air Force photo illustration by Senior Airman Areca T. Wilson/Released)
