DMV Spotlight shines a light on Ending Veteran Suicide. The grim statistics are well known, 17 veterans a day die by suicide. It is the second-highest cause of death for veterans under the age of 45. Guest, Juan Valdez, once a U.S. Marine who now works with the Wounded Warrior Project explains the shifting attitudes inside the military that now support active duty members making sure they are healthy in every dimension. Valdez also explains the National Suicide Hotline- 9-8-8- also works via text if that is more accessible for the person in crisis. Valdez also explained a number of programs available to veterans in need of support via the Wounded Warrior Project.
