INDIANAPOLIS — Vice President Mike Pence spent his day in Indianapolis leading conversations on safely reopening schools. And Second Lady Karen Pence spent the afternoon discussing suicide prevention.

She’s leading a national campaign called REACH. It’s part of the White House’s focus on veteran suicide. Their data shows an average of 132 people take their own lives every day and the rate is even higher for veterans.

Mrs. Pence sat down with FOX59’s Fanchon Stinger to talk about a special initiative REACH is bringing to Central Indiana.

If you or anyone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, there is help available at any time.
