Despite years of focused attention, the rate of suicide among veterans has remained higher than that of nonveterans. A recent RAND report sponsored by Face the Fight highlights the emergence of novel approaches for preventing veteran suicide that leverage advances in technology, including artificial intelligence and biometric monitoring, to identify and intervene with veterans at risk.
Join this April webinar to hear experts discuss a range of new approaches that are currently or will soon be available. We will discuss the evidence supporting these new strategies as well as perspectives about how these new strategies may augment, improve upon, or compete with existing approaches for preventing veteran suicides.
