AFW2 | Suicide Prevention Month Awareness
Air Force Wounded Warrior Program
Sept. 10, 2021 | 3:26
September is National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month. Every year, thousands of lives are lost by suicide and many more are impacted by its ripple effects. Within our military community, suicide is an epidemic that has caused an alarming increase of deaths amongst service members, especially veterans.

The Air Force Wounded Warrior (AFW2) Wellness and Resiliency team organized a 2.2 mile walk at JBSA-Randolph Heritage Park to commemorate the 22 veterans that die by suicide each day. Suicide survivor and AFW2 section lead for wellness, resiliency, and community programs, Armando Franco, sheds lights on his own experience and the struggle with taking the first step towards recovery.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
