Preventing Veteran Suicide by Combating Stigma


Time: 10:00am-11:30am

Location: Virtual/Online

Instructor: Don Seese, WDVA Suicide Prevention Program Lead

CE credits: Unavailable for this course at this time.


Course Description:

This session will explore some of the stigmas that service members, veterans, and family members (SMVF) experience in and out of the service. Stigma remains a significant barrier to seeking help, contributing to isolation, misinformation, and lack of access to essential mental health services. The training focuses on understanding the types of stigmas (self, public, and institutional), how stigma impacts mental health, and practical steps to reduce its presence. Participants will engage in meaningful discussion to challenge and address stigma, foster supportive peer networks, and promote help-seeking behavior.


Learning Objectives:

  • Understand and identify stigma and its impacts.
  • Ability to address stigma through actionable steps.
  • Ability to promote help-seeking behavior.
