VA Zero Suicide Demonstration Project Act of 2025

# VA Zero Suicide Demonstration Project Act of 2025 – Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would establish a demonstration project within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) aimed at reducing veteran suicide. The program would implement suicide prevention strategies and interventions at VA medical facilities to test new approaches for identifying and helping veterans at risk of suicide. If successful, these methods could potentially become standard practice across the VA system. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly impacts veterans who receive care through the VA, as well as VA medical centers and staff who would implement the new prevention programs.

Veteran advocacy groups and suicide prevention organizations would also have interest in the outcomes. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. No further action has been taken at this time.
