Suicide is a national public health concern that affects all Missourians,
including Service Members, Veterans, and their families (SMVF).

All Missouri health systems and communities must work together using the best
available information and practices to prevent suicide.

There is hope. Together we can all help prevent suicide.


ABOUT THE MISSOURI GOVERNOR’S CHALLENGE TO PREVENT SUICIDE AMONG SERVICE
MEMBERS, VETERANS & THEIR FAMILIES (SMVF)

A partnership between U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S.
Department of Health & Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) launched the Governor’s and Mayor’s Challenges
to bring together leaders in community and state governments to prevent suicide
among Service Members, Veterans and their Families (SMVF).
On February 1, 2021 Missouri Governor Mike Parson signed a letter of support for
Missouri to participate in the Governor’s Challenge. A non-partisan state
interagency team was created to embark on a process to collaborate, plan, and
implement suicide prevention best practices and policies for SMVF statewide.

The National Strategy for Preventing Veteran Suicide 2018-2028 provides
Governor’s Challenge Teams a framework for identifying priorities. The strategic
priorities work together to promote wellness, increase protection, reduce risk
and promote effective treatment and recovery. The Missouri Governor’s Challenge
team is focusing on three strategic priorities of the National Strategy:
identify SMVF and screen for suicide risk, promote connectedness and improve
care transitions, and increase lethal means safety and safety planning. There is
evidence that these three priority areas can help in making a positive change to
prevent suicide in Missouri.
