For Dr. Kent Corso, suicide prevention isn't just a mental health initiative. It is a societal imperative. A US Air Force veteran, licensed clinical psychologist, suicidologist, and board-certified behavior analyst, Dr. Corso witnessed early in his military career that more service members were dying by suicide than by enemy fire.
That grim reality never left him. Today, as the founder of PROSPER Together, a small, veteran-owned company founded in 2010, he's transforming how communities address the complex, often misunderstood issue of suicide. He achieves that by focusing on building sustainable, evidence-based systems of support that reduce long-term risk, instead of just awareness campaigns that offer passive solutions.
