Healing Our Military Veterans
Standing in Unity with Our Service Members
The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs reports that 20 service members and veterans die by suicide each day for a variety of reasons, ranging from coping with the effects of aging, flashbacks, isolation, chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, homelessness and PTSD to unaddressed chronic health conditions stemming from military service. Many veterans have underlying mental health conditions or substance use disorders aggravated by their military service which increases their risk.
