Veteran Suicide Prevention Event to Draw Attention to Tragic Losses

Minnesota loses more than 100 Veterans per year to suicide. Minnesota Veteran Suicide Prevention and Awareness Day was enacted by the Minnesota Legislature in 2019 to recognize this tragedy and bring the community together to address this challenge. Participants will learn how to identify Veterans at risk and receive resources to help combat the tragedy of Veteran suicide.

The event is hosted by the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs, the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, MHealth Fairview, and the Veterans Campground on Big Marine Lake. This event is free and open to the public. Attendees are also welcome to camp for the weekend.
