Missoula County supports HB 117 – Provide an appropriation for grants to local veteran suicide prevention efforts, and HB 118 - Revise and provide additional funding for state suicide prevention program, before House State Administration tomorrow morning. These bills provide increased funding for suicide prevention activities. The Missoula City-County Health Department currently employs a half-time employee and often relies on community volunteers to conduct suicide prevention trainings. Missoula has the highest number of veteran suicides of any county in Montana, and the second highest number of all suicides, following Yellowstone County. Funding to support instructor training, literature and increased outreach with high risk groups would provide significant, and much-needed, assistance to our community.
