VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the state of Indiana and September is suicide prevention month.
Many organizations are taking measures to prevent more lives from being lost and to send the message, that no one is alone.
For one woman, this topic has greatly touched her life. Stacy Boehm has lost close friends, battle buddies, and also deals with trauma from being a veteran. Now she is making sure no one else feels isolated, through her work with Irreverent Warriors.
"We've been able to save so many of my battle buddies. I would have had to bury so many more without being active in suicide prevention and knowing the risk and being able to be a part of helping them get the care they needed," said Boehm.
