The Face the Fight Coalition is trying to battle veteran suicide by cutting stigma, increasing conversation, and funding evidence-based organizations already doing good work.
– Audrey and Josh Madigan were a U.S. Air Force power couple. She was in security forces, and he was a pararescue specialist.“I think of this situation that went down every single day of my life because I was there when Josh took his life,” she said.
Now that she works for USAA and has more knowledge on the subject, she realizes the problem is not rare at all — it’s rampant. Audrey said Josh admitted to her that he didn’t want to get help because he was under the false impression that he’d lose his job. The third part of the mission is funding and amplifying the work already being done by the U.S. Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and evidence-based organizations.USAA, Humana Foundation, and Endeavors are just paving the way for others to Face the Fight.
