This partnership will help get life-saving resources to members of the National Guard who may not otherwise have access to the support that they deserve. Secretary Wilkie explains, “VA engaging members of the National Guard is a priority set in the National Strategy for Preventing Veteran Suicide. This partnership enhances the access to these resources for current service members and Veterans already connected with VA.”

We look forward to a long and productive relationship with the VA and thank Secretary Wilkie for his continued commitment to the men and women of the National Guard.
