First Lt. Jordan Mays, a U.S. Army Reserve military police officer with the 800th Military Police Company, shares his story of a suicidal ideation that took place in high school after the stress of loss hit his family and personal life. This story is part of a series of videos for "Voices of Strength," a campaign produced by the 200th MP Command's Suicide Prevention and Public Affairs Offices. The video series offers a revamped look at suicide prevention, using real, unscripted stories of U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers involved with suicide, either through the loss of a loved one, loss of a Soldier, personal attempts or through the perspective of the investigative officers. The goal of these videos is to offer new content for suicide prevention training and discussion during unit training activities to reduce suicide rates across the force. These U.S. Army Reserve videos are produced by David Dummer and directed by Master Sgt. Michel Sauret, and edited by both in a collaborative effort. All interviews were filmed at the Defense Media Activity studios. For more credits, please see video credits at the end of each film.
"Voices of Strength" was nominated for two Emmys in the Capital Region on May 12, 2020 in categories 30A: Public/Current/Community Affairs - Feature/Segment/Series and 30B: Public/Current/Community Affairs - Program/Special.
