For decades, access to recent and actionable data on veteran suicides has been an insurmountable challenge. Not any longer. Below is non-identifiable, county-specific data on Florida veteran suicides from 2010 to 2022. Click on any of our 67 counties to see its veteran suicide count, rate, and the number of Watch Standers standing vigilant to the concerns of our veterans. Then sort by age, gender, and other factors.
This data establishes a baseline to measure the success of our programs, helps us identify high risk veteran groups, and allows us to strategically build our life-saving network. To our knowledge, this is the most recent and detailed veteran suicide data available anywhere in the country.

Our success is dependent on community participation. We have over 1.5 million veterans in Florida. They are family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. They are heroes who have risked their lives to protect our community. Our community is now working together to protect them. Your support keeps our programs free to anyone who wants to stand with us against veteran suicide.
