Addressing the Alarming Rate of Suicides Among Counterterrorism Veterans

Former top CIA officer Mark Pauli Maropoulos discusses the high rate of suicides among counterterrorism veterans, highlighting the stigma associated with seeking mental health help. Veterans and military officers are taking their lives at a staggering rate of 22 per day, often due to the stigma surrounding mental health. Although help is available, nearly half of those in need do not seek it due to this stigma. Initiatives like Sound Off, an app that provides anonymous mental health care for veterans, aim to provide accessible and anonymous support for those in need.
