In this episode of the YMyHealth Podcast, Co-Host Melissa Schenkman sits down with Eileen Chapman, Senior Suicide Prevention Specialist at the Wounded Warrior Project, to have the kind of honest, practical conversation about suicide prevention among veterans and civilians that we don’t hear often enough—but really need.With 14 years of experience supporting veterans and their families, Eileen breaks down what the real risk factors look like, what actually helps, and how everyday people (yes, you) can make a difference. From recognizing warning signs to showing up for someone who might be struggling, this episode takes something that feels overwhelming and makes it feel a little more human—and a lot more doable. Plus, she shares insights on the innovative Wounded Warrior Project suicide prevention programs that are combating suicide successfully. The truth is, supporting mental health isn’t just for professionals—it’s for all of us. And sometimes, the smallest actions—checking in, listening, taking care of ourselves—can be the very things that help save a life.🎧Tune in now to learn the steps you can take to recognize who among you is struggling and what you can do to intervene and save lives. **If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or text messaging to 988.
