The health and well-being of the Nation’s service members and Veterans continue to be a top priority for VA and the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). The 2024 VA/DOD Suicide Prevention Conference is the Nation’s only conference dedicated to addressing military and Veteran suicide prevention.

This year’s theme — Reimagining Suicide Prevention: Evolving and Innovating to Meet Diverse Needs — focuses on innovative ways to increase the reach to at-risk Service member and Veteran populations, especially including historically underserved and growing populations such as women, LGBTQ+, or American Indian and Alaska Natives.
