Preventative Prioritized…As part of World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10, 2024, Naval Hospital Bremerton’s Health Promotion teamed up with Mental Health Clinic behavioral health technician corpsmen to visibility share and raise awareness of the critically importance of the date for all in attendance. “We focused on Firearm Safety as it relates to suicides. We had more than 25 participants who attended and we handed out about 20 firearm safety kits. It turned out to be well-received by patients and staff,” explained Trish Skinner, Health Promotion and Wellness Center department head. The informational display set up on the quarterdeck included a trivia wheel spin to test each contestant on their knowledge on mental health and suicide awareness. NMRTC Bremerton’s effort are in conjunction with the Department of Defense recognizing September as Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month through its campaign, “Joining Your Fight: Connect to Protect.” For anyone having a mental health crisis, please call 988 for the Military and Veteran Crisis Line, press 1 or text 838255 or chat with a live counselor. For Spanish, press 2. Civilians can also call 988 to reach the National Suicide and Crisis Line (Official Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Jennifer Benedict, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs office).
