Whereas, in 2023, there were 15.8 million veterans in the United States and
4
323,724 veterans in the state of Wisconsin; and
AJR107,1,7
5
Whereas, veterans can experience high levels of stress when transitioning
6

7

AJR107,1,10
8
Whereas, veterans have higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder,
9
depression, alcohol abuse, and other mental health issues compared to
10
nonveterans; and
AJR107,1,12
11
Whereas, many veterans encounter stigmas associated with seeking mental
12
health care and difficulty accessing mental health resources when needed; and
AJR107,1,14
13
Whereas, the confluence of these problems contributes to the alarming suicide
14
rate of veterans every year; and
AJR107,2,2
1
Whereas, in 2022, suicide was the 12th-leading cause of death for veterans
2
overall and the second-leading cause of death for veterans under the age of 45; and
AJR107,2,4
3
Whereas, in 2022, there were 6,407 veteran suicides and an average of 17.6
4
veteran suicides per day; and
AJR107,2,7
5
Whereas, in 2023, there were 134 veteran suicides in Wisconsin alone, which
6
accounted for 15 percent of all adult suicides in the state, even though veterans only
7
make up around 5 percent of the state’s adult population; and
AJR107,2,10
8
Whereas, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs designated veteran suicide
9
prevention as its highest clinical priority in the department’s FY 2018-2024
10
Strategic Plan; and
AJR107,2,13
11
Whereas, the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs operates the
12
Veterans Crisis Line, which provides confidential support for veterans in need 24
13
hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year; and
AJR107,2,17
14
Whereas, to honor veterans, highlight the mental health challenges that
15
veterans face, and promote suicide prevention and support services for veterans,
16
the Wisconsin Legislature has the opportunity to bring awareness to this vital
17
issue; now, therefore, be it
AJR107,2,21
18
Resolved by the
assembly
, the
senate
concurring, That
the members of
19
the Wisconsin State Legislature proclaim November 2025 as Veteran Mental
