U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand applauded the passage of The Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans (SAV) Act. Gillibrand is an original cosponsor of the bill (S. 167/H.R. 203) which passed unanimously in the Senate today after passing in the House of Representatives earlier this month, and now heads to the president’s desk. The bill aims to help reduce military and veteran suicides by improving mental health care and enhancing suicide prevention resources.
