2021 DOD/VA Suicide Prevention Conference
2021-05-18 - 2021-05-20 | DE
On behalf of Dr. Matthew Miller, Director of Suicide Prevention, the Department of Veterans Affairs is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2021 Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Suicide Prevention Conference, to be held virtually May 18-20, 2021.
This year’s theme, Make Every Connection Count: Putting the 7 Strategies for Suicide Prevention to Work, promotes a comprehensive approach to prevention, which uses evidence-informed programs, tools, and practices to foster connectedness, increase coping and problem-solving, create protective environments, and strengthen suicide care, among other efforts. Suicide prevention among our Service members, Veterans, and families is a top priority for the DOD and VA.
Due to coronavirus-related considerations and with an abundance of caution, this year’s conference will be hosted virtually. There will be a customized website specifically for the conference, including a virtual platform for live and pre-recorded presentations, participant interaction, and networking. This platform will provide you with the tools to interact directly with presenters, subject matter experts, and each other.

About
The Wall That Heals is a program of VVMF, the nonprofit organization that built the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. in 1982. It is the only traveling exhibit affiliated with The Wall in Washington, D.C. and includes the largest Wall replica that travels the country. The traveling exhibit honors the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces in the Vietnam War and it bears the names of the 58,281 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.
The Wall That Heals exhibit includes a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial along with a mobile Education Center. The 53-foot trailer that carries The Wall That Heals transforms to become a mobile Education Center. The exterior of the trailer features a timeline of “The War and The Wall” and provides additional information about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Additional exhibits give visitors a better understanding of the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the collection of items left at The Wall.
Displays include:

Hometown Heroes – Photos of service members on The Wall who list their home of record from the local area. The photos are part of the effort to put a face to every name on The Wall and for the Wall of Faces.
In Memory Honor Roll – Photos of local Vietnam veterans honored through VVMF’s In Memory program which honors veterans who returned home and later died. https://www.vvmf.org/In-Memory-Program/
