Bill > SRes392

This resolution supports designating November 16, 2025, as "National Warrior Call Day" in response to alarming suicide rates among military personnel and veterans. The resolution highlights significant mental health challenges facing service members, including 523 military suicides in 2023 and 6,407 veteran suicide deaths in 2022, which is nearly 10.5% higher than non-veteran adults. The resolution encourages all Americans, particularly active-duty service members and veterans, to reach out and have meaningful conversations with veterans to combat isolation and potentially prevent suicide. By promoting peer-to-peer connections and awareness, the resolution aims to address complex mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, and depression that often contribute to veteran disconnection and psychological struggles. The resolution specifically calls on individuals to make "warrior calls," engage in honest conversations, and help connect service members with support systems, recognizing that personal connection and understanding can be crucial in preventing veteran suicide and supporting mental health recovery.
