Military Suicide Research

New M.Anestis Photo Compressed

by Michael D. Anestis, M.S.

Just a quick post today.  I wanted to call attention to a sampling of news articles highlighting the newly announced Military Suicide Research Consortium.  It's a remarkable project with the potential to do some tremendous good and I am proud of the work of my colleagues at Florida State University who put this together and proud that I will play a small role in the project as a researcher next year.
