About

Founded by an Act of Congress after World War I, The American Legion fiercely advocates for the unique needs of every generation of veterans, service members, and their families who pledge to protect our nation. Today, we are committed to destigmatizing mental health support, offering peer-to-peer resources, and empowering everyone to Be The One in the fight to prevent veteran suicide.

“WE’RE HERE FOR EACH OTHER”

Today, the No. 1 issue facing the veteran community is suicide. The mission of The American Legion’s Be The One initiative is to reduce the number of veterans and servicemembers lost to suicide. We’re leading the effort to reduce the stigma associated with mental health treatment, providing free suicide prevention training and empowering everyone to take appropriate action when a veteran or service member may be at risk – one life at a time.

Whether you’re a veteran, military spouse, or a friend or family member of a veteran, you can Be The One.
