The Emerging Evidence Around Repetitive TMS in Suicide Prevention
Join us this month for The Emerging Evidence Around Repetitive TMS in Suicide Prevention presented by Elizabeth Fenstermacher, MD. Explore the potential of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a transformative treatment option for Veterans. rTMS is an FDA-approved, safe, and effective treatment for conditions including depression, anxiety with depression, smoking cessation, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments like medication and psychotherapy. Studies show that approximately 50-60% of individuals with treatment-resistant depression experience a significant reduction in symptoms with rTMS, and 20-30% achieve full remission.

Providers
Request a free consultation where, in a safe space with another provider, you can discuss challenging treatment scenarios for Veterans at risk for suicide. Find and download resources promoting evidence-informed best practices or sign up for trainings for providers. Find fact sheets, infographics and social media messaging that you can share with your networks here.
Veterans and Caregivers
SRM experts only consult with providers on suicide risk management. If you are a Veteran in crisis — or you're concerned about one — free, confidential support is available 24/7. Call the Veterans Crisis Line at 988 and Press 1, send a text message to 838255, or chat online. Find Veteran Suicide Prevention information and resources on the Veterans Crisis Line website.
Postvention
Many providers will experience a loss to suicide during their careers. This loss can have profound personal and professional impacts.
SRM consultation is available to any provider serving Veterans who would like support surrounding a suicide loss and/or to consult on postvention practices.
To request a postvention consult, email SRMConsult@va.gov.
Visit the Uniting for Suicide Postvention (USPV) website to explore resources for community, providers, and workplaces who are healing after suicide loss.
