Abstract: Building on the U.S. military’s suicide intervention efforts, the Intentional Life Project emphasizes preemptive action by embedding suicide prevention into military culture. It leverages the bonds between leaders and soldiers, integrating preventative measures within these trust dynamics. By shifting from reactive intervention to proactive prevention, the project seeks to enhance mental resilience across military units. This approach aims not only to reduce soldier suicides but also to strengthen overall mental resilience, ensuring that those who defend and protect the country are prepared and resilient in the face of conflict.
