Suicide is the second leading cause of death for adolescents in the United States. Research indicates that adolescents in military families have higher rates of suicidal behaviors than their non-military peers. However, many suicides are preventable.

This webinar highlights emergent data around military teens’ experiences and the impacts of food security on their lives.
