Florida Governor's Challenge
In Florida, we are working to improve mental health and prevent suicide. Florida has 21 military bases and 1.4 million Veterans. The Governor's Challenge supports the use of evidence-based practices to prevent suicide among our service members, Veterans, and their families. In order to succeed, we need everyone to join us and spread the word. Help save our Veterans!
