With more than 1 in 5 American adults living with a mental illness and over 50,000 suicides in the United States in 2023, including over 6,000 veterans who die by suicide annually, the nation's shared societal responsibility to drive forward treatments and solutions to this devastating public health challenge is immense.

  • Our Alexandria Summit on Mental Health will set an agenda to drive significant reform, catalyze new mission-critical public-private partnerships and influence policy to accelerate innovation that saves lives."

  • Military personnel and veterans experience mental health and addiction issues at dramatically higher rates than the general U.S. population.
