To reduce the disparity in suicide rates among veterans, the Arizona Coalition for Military Families and the Be Connected program use a collective impact model with multi-faceted solutions that focus on upstream approaches. These upstream approaches work to provide support and connection to resources before a life-threatening crisis develops because suicide prevention is much more than intervening only at the point of crisis. Suicide prevention involves an entire spectrum of approaches including upstream prevention long before a crisis develops, crisis intervention when a crisis is imminent on happening, and postvention support for being who are affected when someone they know dies by suicide to prevent further trauma and potential subsequent suicides within a community.
