Subj: Attn: Health Staff and VA Staff - END VETERAN SUICIDE NOW
Dear [Title & Name - Senator, Congressman, Congresswoman],
I am an American who is deeply concerned about the lack of adequate mental health treatment available to our veterans. The staggering statistic of over 6,000 veteran suicides per year highlights a critical and urgent need for better solutions. From 2001 through the end of 2024, we will have lost more than 150,000 veterans to suicide.
MDMA-assisted therapy has shown remarkable promise in addressing this crisis. Clinical trials and VA studies have demonstrated its safety and efficacy. After just three sessions combining MDMA with talk therapy, 71% of patients no longer met the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis, and 86% experienced significant symptom reduction. Despite these promising results, veterans must currently seek this life-saving treatment outside the United States.
The FDA is set to make a final decision to approve MDMA-assisted therapy in early August. I urge you to join the overwhelming number of Senate and House Members, led by the dozens of veterans serving in Congress, in supporting this crucial therapy. Your support can help ensure that veterans receive the mental health care they deserve without having to leave the country they served.
Thank you for your attention to this vital matter.
Sincerely,
First & Last Name
City & State
