Historically, suicide rates in the military have been lower than  those in the general population. However, since 2008, the rate of  military suicides has exceeded that of the demographic-adjusted general  population. Mental health issues in the Army National Guard (ARNG) are  often exacerbated by a culture of silence, as well as the fear of  possible career ramifications from revealing these problems. 

As suicides have reached epidemic proportions in the Guard, it is  critical to understand the intricate system of beliefs and values that  prevents at-risk individuals from seeking help.

TDL was approached by the Indiana National Guard to identify the  behavioral drivers of poor mental health, and the barriers to seeking  psychological treatment.

Recently, suicides in the military has been on the rise. We identified behavioral barriers to mental health in the army.
