According to the Colorado Health Institute, almost 2,600 veterans in Colorado have died by suicide between 2004 and 2017—nearly 200 veterans per year every year for over a decade. Veterans in Colorado are disproportionately impacted by suicide, as they comprise 9 percent of the state’s population and 20 percent of suicides in the state. Veterans in Colorado are also almost twice as likely to die by suicide than the national average (52.1 per 100,000 compared to 30.1 per 100,000).
According to the VA, almost two-thirds (64.7%) of Colorado veteran suicides are by firearm. Suicide among veterans is preventable.
Issues like barriers to mental health care services, a lack of community-level initiatives (particularly in rural areas), and a shortage of coordinated strategies to address veteran-specific needs need to be addressed to lower the suicide rate among veterans.
