Suicide and Trauma Reduction Initiative for Veterans (STRIVE)

The Suicide and Trauma Reduction Initiative for Veterans (STRIVE) provides evidence-based treatment to service members and veterans with a diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or an elevated suicide risk. These intensive treatments are provided daily (versus weekly), which reduces early dropout and improves overall treatment response. This BWF grant will provide treatment to 80 veterans in order to reduce the severity of PTSD symptoms, reduce the frequency and severity of  suicidal thoughts, and improve well-being.
