Suicidal thoughts can be experienced by anyone and are a serious mental health concern. Whether you’re a service member, veteran, family member, or retiree, it’s important to remember that mental health is just as crucial as physical health. Taking proactive steps to care for your mental well-being can make a significant difference. TRICARE is here to support you every step of the way.

“One life lost to suicide is one too many,” said Tisha Petelo, LCSW, behavioral health specialist, Healthcare Operations at the Defense Health Agency. “Being aware of your mental health needs and getting support is the strongest tool you have in preventing suicide. Remember, as your partner in suicide prevention, TRICARE covers mental health services to help you and your family members deal with life’s challenges.”

Life stressors can negatively impact mental health. Sometimes, things like finances, relationships, isolation, or alcohol misuse can lead to depression and even thoughts of suicide.

Recognizing when things don’t feel right is the first step to getting the support you need.

A 15-meter by 155-meter finger pier is set to be constructed at Naval Operating Base Subic, homeport of the Philippine Navy’s patrol vessels and frigates. According to the contract, the planning for the pier is under foreign military financing for the Armed Forces of the Philippines and will be in support of Naval Sea Systems Command’s International Fleet Support Program Office, known as PMS 326.
