title: Suicide prevention in an army infantry division: a multi-disciplinary program.
abstract: This article is intended to provide an overview of the 25th Infantry Division (Light) Suicide Prevention Program. A multidisciplinary intervention model, it outlines the role of chaplains and division mental health officers as well as indicators or warning signs relevant to army personnel who have committed suicide. Prevention strategies applicable to the military community, including Crisis Intervention Command Consultations, will be recommended. It is hoped that this information will not only assist professionals in identifying personnel at risk for suicide, but aid in the development of other suicide prevention programs.
