Wingman Project’s main mission is to work to eliminate Warfighter and family member suicides through outreach, media and training.

Everyone needs a Wingman and this project encourages Wingmen to check in with each other and to, “Never Leave Your Wingman.” By learning ACE training, you will be equipped with the knowledge to help intervene and save a life.

ACE training teaches the warning signs of suicide to every Wingman so they know when to intervene. Just a few of the warning signs are:

Threatening or talking about hurting or killing oneself
Looking for ways to kill oneself (seeking access to firearms, available pills, etc.)
Talking or writing about death, dying or suicide when out of the ordinary for the person
Feeling rage, uncontrolled anger or seeking revenge
Increasing alcohol or drug use
Withdrawing from friends, family and becoming anti-social
Feeling anxious, agitated, unable to sleep or sleeping all the time
Experiencing dramatic mood changes
Seeing no reason for living or having no sense of purpose in life
Receiving or sending an unusual or confusing text, or one unexpectedly saying "Goodbye ".
