Suicide Prevention
Be The One. HOW YOU CAN BE THE ONE
What: The American Legion’s Be the One initiative encourages American Legion Family
members, veterans, servicemembers and others to take action when they believe a veteran is at risk of suicide.
Why: To reduce the alarming number of veteran suicides.
How: Our goal is to destigmatize asking for mental health support, provide peer-to-peer support and resources, and educate everyone on how they can
Be the One.
Who: Veterans•
Talk with fellow veterans about how you are feeling.
Ask for help when you think you need it.
Know there are millions of people ready to help you.
Remember your family and friends care. Non-veterans
Ask veterans in your life how they are doing.
Listen when a veteran needs to talk.
Reach out when a veteran is struggling.
American Legion posts Educate members, other veterans and civilians on the campaign.
Veterans experiencing a crisis can call 988 and press 1 for mental health assistance (this WORKS! – Try it, and pass it on to those who may need it!).
Counselors are available 24/7. They may also text 838255 or visit the VA crisis line website
