Televeda is proud to continue our work with the VA and suicide prevention. In the recent 2003 report, our work with the VA is highlight and mentioned- further strengthing our commitment to our mission of helping veterans.
In the report:
"Additionally, VA’s Suicide Prevention Research Impact NeTwork (SPRINT) continues its critical work to accelerate VA suicide prevention research to improve care and reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors among Veterans. In the coming year, SPRINT is specifically focusing studies upon the following 4 Veteran groups to advance efforts: younger Veterans, women Veterans, underserved Veterans and minority Veterans, including those from disadvantaged groups. In 2023, VA also announced the final winners of Mission Daybreak, VA’s $20 million suicide prevention grand challenge. Sourcing outside entities, such as academia, industry experts, nonprofits, and community organizations, can improve Veteran suicide prevention efforts by providing platforms to engage solutions for a multifactorial problem. This open innovation program created an opportunity for a diversity of solvers, including Veterans, researchers, technologists, advocates, clinicians, and health innovators, to offer solutions for Veteran suicide prevention. One of the 2 first-place winners, Televeda’s Project Hózhó, developed the first mental health app for American Indian and Alaska Native populations in collaboration with American Indian and Alaska Native communities and communities for Navajo Veterans."
