Mental Health Support for Hoosier Veterans

Play

Senator Joe Donnelly conducted a conference call with members of the Indiana media last week to discuss military and veteran suicide prevention efforts. Last year, more combat troops committed suicide than were killed in combat in Afghanistan, and 43% of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who took their own life did not seek treatment beforehand. The Reserve and National Guard force has also seen a rise in suicides. Donnelly stresses the need for increased support of returning veterans, in today’s WFHB feature report.
