Veteran Suicide Prevention Evaluation: Annual Reverse Site Visit

Veterans and military populations have a higher risk for suicide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Community-based veteran-serving organizations (VSOs) help build connections and creating an upstream approach to suicide prevention for veterans and military families. 

Over the past five years, the CDC Foundation has supported a variety of projects related to veteran suicide prevention. One of these efforts, the Veteran Suicide Prevention Evaluation (VSPE) project, supports VSOs in using evaluation to build evidence on the effectiveness of veteran suicide programs. The CDC Foundation is pleased to announce that we will be hosting our fifth annual meeting to promote the evaluation work of our grantees and support a community of practice among veteran-serving organizations conducting program evaluation.
