Book Synopsis Stopping Military Suicides by : Kate Hendricks Thomas
Download or read book Stopping Military Suicides written by Kate Hendricks Thomas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blending illustrative narratives from veterans with cutting-edge research, this book provides a model for a needed shift from treatment post-trauma to psychological training pre-trauma to prevent deep depression and resulting suicides. As suicides among members of the U.S. military and veterans continue at a rate higher than in the general population—nearly 20 each day—and their calls for help become louder, with three veterans waiting for treatment outside Veterans Administration hospitals in 2019 committing suicide, authors and former U.S. Marines Kate Hendricks Thomas and Sarah Plummer Taylor present a call for a new approach to help halt the needless deaths. Thomas, now a researcher and assistant professor of public health, and Plummer Taylor, now a social worker and adjunct professor, detail a plan to establish preventative training for mental fitness that will help psychologically "vaccinate" service members against depression and PTSD, the most common precursors to suicidal thoughts. Thomas and Plummer Taylor detail their mental fitness training program to shift from post-trauma treatment to pre-trauma prevention. Each topic addressed is illustrated with stories from veterans. Part of the solution, Thomas and Plummer Taylor explain, is to present prevention as something for all service members and as a positive, strength-building, challenging activity for champions, as opposed to a post-trauma treatment only for "weak and broken" warriors.

Book Synopsis The Last and Greatest Battle by : John Bateson
Download or read book The Last and Greatest Battle written by John Bateson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly every day an active-duty soldier in the United States military resorts to suicide, and nearly every hour a veteran does the same. In recent years the problem of military suicides has reached epidemic proportions, but it's all too easy for most of us to gloss over the headlines or tune out the details. In The Last and Greatest Battle--the first book devoted exclusively to the problem of military suicides--John Bateson brings this neglected crisis into the spotlight. Bateson, the former executive director of a nationally certified suicide prevention center, surveys the history of suicide in the United States military from the Civil War to the present day and outlines a plan to save lives-and ultimately end the tragedy of military suicides. He uses the stories of individual soldiers to illuminate the unique challenges faced by American troops today. Transitioning from the front lines to the home front is difficult for many service members, and many need help both during and after their deployments. But even though the military is spending millions of dollars on suicide prevention programs, record numbers of soldiers continue to take their lives. To that end, Bateson outlines a plan of action. If the military works to remove stigma, to make treatment more effective and more accessible, and to limit risk factors for suicide in the first place by taking measures like reducing the number and length of deployments and adjusting pre-deployment training to take into account the way that wars are waged today, an end to the problem of military suicide is as possible as it is essential.

Book Synopsis Evaluation of the Department of Veterans Affairs Mental Health Services by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Evaluation of the Department of Veterans Affairs Mental Health Services written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 4 million U.S. service members took part in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Shortly after troops started returning from their deployments, some active-duty service members and veterans began experiencing mental health problems. Given the stressors associated with war, it is not surprising that some service members developed such mental health conditions as posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and substance use disorder. Subsequent epidemiologic studies conducted on military and veteran populations that served in the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq provided scientific evidence that those who fought were in fact being diagnosed with mental illnesses and experiencing mental healthâ€"related outcomesâ€"in particular, suicideâ€"at a higher rate than the general population. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the quality, capacity, and access to mental health care services for veterans who served in the Armed Forces in Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn. It includes an analysis of not only the quality and capacity of mental health care services within the Department of Veterans Affairs, but also barriers faced by patients in utilizing those services.
Book Synopsis Veteran Suicide by : Robert M. Bossarte

Book excerpt: Veteran Suicide: A Public Health Imperative educates readers on the critical issue of veteran suicide that has become a national imperative. Eighteen veterans kill themselves daily. An average of one active-duty GI commits suicide every 1.1 days. More GIs deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan will die from suicide than from combat. These troubling facts are undeniable. Published with assistance from the Veterans Administration, this collection of papers offers peer reviewed research from the leading experts from public health, clinical, and scientific communities. Some of the topics include: * Surveillance of Suicide and Suicide Attempts Among Veterans * Suicide Prevention for Veterans and Active Duty Personnel * Preventing Suicide by Preventing Lethal Injury * Estimating the Risk of Suicide Among US Veterans: * Suicide Prevention Is a Winnable Battle * Facilitating Treatment Engagement During High-Risk Transition Periods "The research represented by the collection of manuscripts included in this volume is an important step towards addressing the national problem of suicide and a reminder that even one death by suicide is too many."

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, IAVA [Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America] launched the Campaign to Combat Suicide, a result of our members continually identifying mental health and suicide as the number-one issue facing post-9/11 vets. This campaign centers around the principle that timely access to high-quality mental health care is critical in the fight to combat suicide. The signing of the Clay Hunt SAV Act into law was an important first step. We thank Richard and Susan Sulky for courageously inspiring us all to do the right thing, Congress for passing this legislation, and the VA for their commitment to fully implement the law. In IAVA's annual member survey, over 80 percent of members with a mental health injury reported seeking care. This is an increase from our last survey. They continue to emphasize the role of the family and friends with over 75 percent who reported having a loved one suggest they seek help and, as a result, getting that help. Research shows early intervention and timely access to mental health care are key to improving quality of life, promoting recovery, obviating long-term health consequences, and minimizing the disabling effects of mental illness and the risk of suicide. In recent years, VA's mental health programs and suicide prevention efforts have been both praised and criticized. Outside sources have described the scope, depth and breadth of VA's multivariant mental health approaches as superior to care in the private sector. Additionally, data shows that VA users have a lower suicide rate than veterans not using the VA Health Care System.

Download or read book The War Within written by Krystle Shapiro MSHN LMT and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statistics about veteran suicide have changed little over the years, hovering most consistently at twenty suicides a day. Most emphasis has been placed on increasing the availability of mental health services for returning soldiers, yet theaters of war present a myriad of factors affecting human health from exposures to toxic elements, extreme environments, and a lack of proper nutrition, not to mention the emotional experiences that all together create a cascade of individualized chemical messenger responses to unrelenting stressors. The War Within informs soldiers, veterans, family members, and caretakers how to first understand what happens to the body under such stressors in theaters of war and how this affects the brain. Once one understands what has happened to the physical body, then appropriate decisions and practices can be undertaken to restore the physical reserves of our warriors, ultimately reversing the heartbreaking suicidal trend that we recognize is currently taking place. The War Within presents a five-part, well-researched program that can serve as a vital complement to the important mental health programs presently being provided for our soldiers and veterans. This program is easy to implement into daily routines, and it enables restoration of optimal brain function, thus reducing the incidence of depression, hopelessness, fatigue, and suicidal ideation.

This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we meet to search for answers to the most haunting of questions: What leads an individual who honorably served our Nation, out of helplessness and hopelessness, to take their own life, and how do we prevent such a tragedy from happening to one who has bravely worn the uniform and defended our freedom? Suicide is undoubtedly a complex issue, but it is also a preventable one, and I am deeply troubled by its persistent prevalence in our military and veteran communities. The statistics are sobering: Eighteen veterans commit suicide each day, with almost a third receiving care from the Department of Veterans Affairs at the time of their death. Each month, there are 950 veterans being treated by the VA who attempt suicide.
