2025 National Veteran Suicide
Prevention Annual Report
Part 2 of 2: Report Findings

Introduction
Reducing Veteran suicide is the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA’s) top clinical
priority. Veteran suicide is a critical issue that affects all Americans. In 2023, suicide
claimed the lives of 47,711 American adults, including 6,398 U.S. Veterans. The tragic
loss of life through suicide is not only a personal or family tragedy, but a profound public
health concern that resonates throughout the broader Veteran community and impacts
families and communities across the nation. This underscores the urgent need for
collective action and the deployment of strategies that effectively address the root
causes of suicide and strengthen protective factors to help Veterans thrive.
