Suicide Prevention and Force Preservation

 

The loss of a single Marine, Sailor, civilian, or family member to suicide is a tragedy that deeply affects all members of our Marine Corps family and adversely impacts Force Preservation, Marine Corps Total Fitness (MCTF), and mission readiness. For that reason, we must maximize the full spectrum of force preservation and suicide prevention resources that are available to us. Below you will find helpful links to many of those resources.

 

If you or someone you know is in crisis and needs help now, dial 988 and Press '1'
or text '838255' to reach the Military and Veteran's Crisis Line.
