Suicide and access to mental health care in the military have drawn significant media attention over the last several years, resulting in increased focus on these issues by the public and Army leadership.

Leaders have taken note of these alarming trends and recently highlighted the role of stigma in discouraging soldiers from seeking mental health care.
