Developed by the National Veterans Financial Resource Center (FINVET), the website aims to boost protective factors that promote mental health and reduce suicide risk by helping Veterans learn about and manage their finances.<\/p>\n<p>Economic and financial uncertainty can increase the risk of suicide. FINVET helps mitigate that risk by connecting Veterans to trustworthy financial tools, information, videos, calculators, and worksheets \u2013 serving as a one-stop website for Veterans to learn a variety of essential information to help meet their financial goals. Using simple navigation, FINVET empowers Veterans to learn about financial goals such as meeting basic needs, saving or earning more money, lowering bills and debt, and protecting their assets. The website pulls together resources from across more than 25 government agencies, including the Department of Labor, Federal Trade Commission, National Park Service, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.<\/p>\n<p>Ending Veteran suicide is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealth.va.gov\/suicide_prevention\/docs\/Office-of-Mental-Health-and-Suicide-Prevention-National-Strategy-for-Preventing-Veterans-Suicide.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">VA\u2019s top clinical priority<\/a>\u00a0and a key part of President Biden\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2023\/02\/07\/fact-sheet-in-state-of-the-union-president-biden-to-outline-vision-to-advance-progress-on-unity-agenda-in-year-ahead\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Unity Agenda<\/a>.
