 Suicide affects all of us. Building resilience and preventing suicide requires us to actively communicate with each other. It starts with everyday actions to build trust and meaningful connections with our shipmates, making sure they know they are never alone. Life in the Navy includes being in unfamiliar places separated from loved ones and friends in their support while executing demanding missions in a stressful environment. Successfully navigating this challenge includes leaning on the support of your peers, your leaders, and your community. Working to stop suicide is an ongoing, everyday, all year effort. This year's Suicide Prevention Month theme is Every Sailor Every Day. Be the first to break the silence. Start the conversation if you notice someone having difficulty navigating stress. Take time to find out how your shipmates are doing. It's about being there for Every Sailor Every Day by Every Sailor Every Day.
