Governor’s and Mayor’s Challenges to Prevent Suicide Among Service Members, Veterans, and their Families

SAMHSA has partnered with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to bring the Governor’s and Mayor’s Challenges to Prevent Suicide Among Service Members, Veterans, and their Families (SMVF) to states, territories, and communities across the Nation. For the Governor’s Challenge, 54 states and territories are currently taking part in the challenge and are working to develop and implement state-wide suicide prevention best practices for SMVF, using a public health approach. For the Mayor’s Challenge, 22 communities were originally engaged as part of the challenge. Currently, 19 of those teams are still actively participating. SAMHSA’s SMVF TA Center is providing technical assistance for these initiatives.
