The ASG Office of Veterans Affairs continues to expand services for local veterans and their families.
One service that the VA Office is promoting is a community-based suicide prevention program, funded with a grant awarded to the office three years ago.
Program Manager Faamasino Galoia says this program offers non-clinical support for veterans and their dependents to help prevent thoughts of suicide.
