Event Details
The South Carolina Governor's Challenge, managed by the SCDVA, is a multi-agency coalition partnered with SAMHSA and the VA to prevent suicide among Service Members, Veterans, and their Families (SMVF).
The initiative focuses on three key areas: implementing the "Ask the Question" campaign, enhancing connection through the Palmetto Pathfinder Program, and promoting lethal means safety via "Lock It South Carolina."
The annual Governor's Summit on Veterans' Affairs briefs state leadership, with proceedings broadcast to the public on the SCDVA YouTube Channel. For immediate, confidential support, veterans in crisis can call 988 and press 1, or text 838255.
