Supporting Single Soldiers Through Connection
Suicide prevention and life preservation efforts are year-round priorities for the Army. For single Soldiers adjusting to the demands of Army life, maintaining strong connections can be an important source of support. The Army’s 2026 suicide prevention theme, “We Are Stronger Together. Connect to Protect.” reinforces the important role that relationships and small acts of connection can play in assisting those who may need help.
Single Soldiers living away from their Family or managing the demands of active duty, connection is very important. Building relationships with battle buddies, leaders and others in the community can create a support system Soldiers can rely on during difficult times.
Single Soldiers can turn to the Army Suicide Prevention and Response Program for resources that support prevention, resilience and early help-seeking. DPRR’s suicide prevention and awareness materials connect Soldiers with information on recognizing warning signs, helping someone who may be struggling, building resilience and practicing lethal means safety.
The Army community resource guides provide support that can also help Soldiers locate behavioral health, medical and other services available. These resources reinforce that suicide prevention begins before a crisis by strengthening connections, reducing stigma and encouraging Soldiers to seek assistance early.
Suicide prevention is a shared responsibility. By checking in and maintaining strong connections, Soldiers can help create an environment where no one must face difficult moments alone.
Soldiers experiencing a crisis can call 988 and press 1 to reach the Military Crisis Line.
