ACTION OVER SILENCE: END VETERAN SUICIDE 

ACTION OVER SILENCE is a collaborative, community-driven initiative dedicated to preventing suicide among Service Members, Veterans, and their Families/Caregivers in Allen County, Indiana.

We are built on the belief that no Service Member, Veteran or family member should feel alone in crisis —and that communities can save lives when they come together.
