The Military Suicide Prevention Field Manual: The 5 Steps to Suicide Prevention (The Military Mental Health Field Manuals)

Every day, men and women in uniform face invisible battles that can feel as overwhelming as any fought on the front lines. The Military Suicide Prevention Field Manual: The 5 Steps to Suicide Prevention is a life-saving guide designed specifically for those who serve, those who have served, and those who stand beside them. Written by Michael J. Vanderplas (a veteran critical care nurse, best-selling author, and internationally recognized suicide prevention expert) this field manual provides a direct, mission-oriented approach to overcoming suicidal thoughts and preventing self-harm among military personnel. Drawing on over three decades of frontline experience and thousands of lives saved, Vanderplas translates the complexities of psychology and crisis intervention into five clear, actionable steps anyone can follow. Each step blends practical tools, neuroscience-based insights, and compassionate communication techniques that empower readers to recognize warning signs, interrupt destructive patterns, and reconnect with purpose and identity. The manual combines military discipline with human understanding, teaching service members how to safeguard their own mental readiness and how to protect their brothers and sisters in arms. This book is more than a prevention guide, it’s a call to action and a roadmap toward lasting recovery. Whether read by a soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, guardian, or those who support them, The Military Suicide Prevention Field Manual delivers hope, clarity, and strength where it’s needed most. Because saving one life is never enough—together, we can save thousands.
