Minnesota American Legion Family Suicide Prevention Coalition
What We Do...
The Minnesota American Legion Family Suicide Prevention Coalition is a grassroots effort to raise awareness and provide tools to prevent suicide in our Posts, Districts, and communities.
-
Our priority is the wellbeing of veterans and their families.
-
We aim to ensure that at every Post, Auxiliary, or Sons of The American Legion location across Minnesota, members can find suicide prevention information and support.
As stated in our preamble, our mission is rooted in “our devotion to mutual helpfulness.”
