The Behavioral Medicine Report

The Beck Institute, a non-profit organization headed by Aaron Beck, M.D., created The Soldiers Suicide Prevention to provide a central resource for suicide prevention mental healthcare services for the proud men and women of our fighting forces. Healthcare providers can also receive Cognitive Therapy-based suicide prevention training. As a strong supporter of our fine military personnel, I urge our readers to get involved with this great cause. The Soldiers Suicide Prevention hopes to significantly increase the number of mental health professionals trained in suicide prevention specifically suited for America’s soldiers, and they currently offer Training Scholarships as an added financial incentive. You can apply for a scholarship here. The Soldiers Suicide Prevention also requests your tax deductible donations to ensure continued and expanded operations for this important mission.

The Soldiers Suicide Prevention provides a wealth of information for clinicians, the general public, and, of course, soldiers that includes how to find a suitable therapist, related books, and ways to everyone to get involved. Visit The Soldiers Suicide Prevention here.
