Stop Soldier Suicide is the only national nonprofit focused solely on solving the issue of suicide
among U.S. veterans and service members. Their vision is a nation where veterans and service
members have no greater risk for suicide than any other American. Stop Soldier Suicide has an
aggressive goal to reduce the military suicide rate by 40% no later than 2030. Stop Soldier
Suicide offers suicide-specific care 100% free to U.S. veterans and service members through its
ROGER program (see www.GoROGER.org). Their Black Box Project uses forensics to identify and
analyze data from digital devices of veterans who died by suicide, with the goal of identifying
never-before-known risk patterns; they are seeking families who would like to lend their loved
ones’ devices for research. Learn more at www.StopSoldierSuicide.org.
