The Arizona Department of Veterans Services (AZDVS) received a $750,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055). This one-year grant, effective from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025, supports AZDVS's community-based suicide prevention efforts targeting veterans and their families in Arizona. The funding enables AZDVS to provide outreach, suicide prevention services, and connections to VA and community resources, aligning with the VA's National Strategy for Preventing Veteran Suicide. Key services delivered through this grant include suicide prevention counseling, case management, and facilitating referrals to VA healthcare. AZDVS leverages this federal funding to implement a public health approach that combines community-based prevention with evidence-based clinical strategies to address veteran suicide risk in Arizona.

Suicide prevention grants are awarded to eligible entities to meet the needs of eligible individuals and their families through outreach, provision or coordination of suicide prevention services, and connection to VA and community resources as described in 38 CFR part 78
