National Suicide Prevention Month

The goal of the Army Suicide Prevention Program (ASSP) is to prevent suicides and lower the probability that an individual engages in self-injurious behavior. An integral component of the Army's Ready and Resilient Campaign, the ASPP has shared responsibilities between leaders, Soldiers, Family members, and Army Civilians. Although many have the resilience to work through their issues, some may need assistance to manage the stressors associated with their issues.

The Story Of SFC Brittany Conley

SFC Brittany Conley is currently serving as the Senior Recruiter Team Lead for the South Carolina National Guard recently graduated from Purdue University Global.

Here is her story.

“I beat the odds. I was born to a teenage parent. The statistical chance of becoming a teenage parent myself was high, as well as a lower IQ and academic achievement, and being socioeconomically disadvantaged. My parents tried but between their battles of drug/alcohol abuse, mental illness, and domestic issues inside my home, I left at the age of 16. I became emancipated at 17 and barely graduated high school.
