Identify

Do you know the indicators of suicide? Trauma doesn’t just “snap” in a person, but rather builds up over time, until the extra drop of stress is too much for one to bear.

Have you heard of a stress bucket? Is your bucket full?

Secure the Means.

Help hold guns for a loved one when they are going through a hard time, or facing crisis.

It’s okay if you have no experience with firearms, learn more about firearms handling, storage, and organizations that help.

This program aims to help community efforts and is not to increase firearm legislation.

Reach out for help.

Firearm suicides claim 35% of veterans deaths in Texas, but legislating new gun laws pushes Texans away from help.

We are here for our fellow veterans before situations progress to suicide: help means friends, family and loved ones. Get help and get in a better place in life!
