A note from Commissioner Patricia Ross
Answering the Call: A Mission to Save Lives
Suicide prevention isn’t just a duty—it’s a mission. A mission to step up, speak out, and stand united for those who have served and sacrificed.
No veteran should face their battles alone. No family should endure a loss that could have been prevented. That’s why the Let’s Connect Summit matters.
At the Let’s Connect Summit, veterans, mental health professionals, advocates, and community leaders will come together—not just to talk, but to take action. To listen, to learn, and to forge real solutions that will save lives and strengthen communities.
We cannot afford to wait. We cannot stand on the sidelines. This is our moment to show up, to make a difference, and to be the lifeline that someone desperately needs.
The knowledge you gain here will empower you. The connections you build will uplift you. The work we do together will change lives.
Together, we will bring hope. Together, we will save lives.
