Senate Joint Resolution 592, sponsored by Harshbarger, designates March 12, 2026, as "Be the One to End Suicide Day" in Tennessee. This initiative is part of a broader effort by the American Legion, which launched the "Be The One" campaign on June 1, 2023, aimed at reducing veteran suicide rates. The resolution highlights alarming statistics, noting that approximately twenty-two veterans die by suicide each day nationally, and that suicide is the second leading cause of death among individuals aged ten to twenty-four. In Tennessee, the suicide rate is reported to be 14.7 percent higher than the national average, emphasizing the urgent need for action.

The resolution calls on public and private entities across Tennessee's ninety-five counties to engage in annual suicide prevention training, promote the 988 suicide prevention hotline, and display awareness messaging in relevant locations. By designating this day, the resolution seeks to raise awareness and foster community involvement in suicide prevention efforts, ultimately aiming to save lives across all demographics in the state.
