In 2024, through a partnership with the U.S. and Wisconsin Departments of Veterans Affairs, we received a grant to extend the work of su***de mortality reviews (SMR) across the state of Wisconsin. With the funding, we launched a statewide SMR team that has focused on reviewing Veteran su***de deaths in Wisconsin to explore missed opportunities for intervention and enhance a community's ability to respond and prevent future su***de deaths.

We're excited to share the team's first annual report! The report outlines recommendations made during meeting reviews and identifies next steps and trends. Read the full report and learn more about the SMR team at https://www.mcw.edu/departments/comprehensive-injury-center/divisions/division-of-su***de-research-and-healing/su***de-mortality-review.

This was a great opportunity to meet Tribal partners and discuss how we can serve as a resource and support them in their injury and violence prevention work.
