Deloitte facilitated a Veteran Suicide Prevention Workshop with AFSP attended by 100+ cross-industry leaders to identify challenges and advance evidence-based public health strategies for veteran suicide prevention, focusing on rural, women, and American Indian/Alaska Native veterans. A comprehensive community action plan comprising tailored recommendations to address specific community needs was shared with senior officials.
