The Defense SuicidePrevention Office (DSPO) integrates a holistic approach to suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention utilizing a range of medical and non-medical resources. DSPO is taking a responsible, measurable, and deliberative approach in its efforts to combat death by suicide through data surveillance and analysis; research and program evaluation; advocacy; plans and policy oversight; outreach; and training and oversight. It is through these efforts that we will build a steady and resilient force that encompasses Service members, civilians, and their families.

HCHV Homeless Services is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team that is designed to meet veterans where they are and provide no-wrong door services.

Homeless program staff include social workers, peer support specialists, addiction therapists, and vocational specialists.
