Media Toolkit Now Available

Spread the News of the NW PA Veteran Suicide Prevention Program

The Northwest Pennsylvania (NW PA) Veteran Suicide Prevention Program operates on a three-pronged approach involving healthcare providers, community organizations, and Veterans and their families. In response to stakeholder feedback, we have developed an online media toolkit that anyone can use to help spread the word about the work we are doing throughout the region. The toolkit contains sample email text, a press release designed for participants to announce their collaboration, and a program overview article that can be forwarded to local newspapers, health and wellness organizations, community groups, and houses of worship.

All materials can be copied/pasted and modified to fit an individual’s or organization’s specific needs. Please reach out to us if you have any questions!
