#1 Visited local VA office for a vaccine (no, not covid) and a fair amount of the intake was devoted to questions related to exposure to domestic violence and thoughts of self-harm. Guess suicide didn’t play well in the focus groups.
And posters abounded with contact info; also beer cozies with suicide prevention hot line numbers for handouts. It appears the VA is trying to get a handle on this.
