September is recognized as Suicide Prevention Month. Veterans account for a significant portion of suicides, making up 17.8% of cases, despite only 6% of Americans having served in the military. The American Psychiatric Association Foundation has a public awareness campaign called Mental Health Care Works, which supports veterans and their families.

The campaign aims to raise awareness about mental health and provide resources to those in need. Further information, including warning signs and free resources, is available through the campaign's website, mentalhealthcareworks.org.

More details about the campaign and resources can be found through NewsChannel 5, including a Let Me Help segment with the Executive Director of the American Psychiatric Association Foundation.
