GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Today is the start of Suicide Prevention Month. The slogan for the month is “Connect To Protect,” which emphasizes connections—to family, friends, the community, and the unit.

Keep a lookout for Connection Tuesday material coming this month!
Connection and inclusion are key in suicide prevention. Having social connections you can count on and a sense you belong can be a protective factor against suicide.
For the month of September, we encourage everyone to reach out to three individuals every Tuesday-- "Connection Tuesday."
