Resources for Veterans
To our courageous veterans and servicemembers who answered the call to defend our nation, thank you. They served this country bravely, they did their job, and now it’s on us to be there for them. Please check on those you know who might be having a hard time with what’s going on; it could make all the difference for someone. If you, a friend, or family member is in need of mental health resources for veterans at this time, my team and I wanted to share some information that might be helpful.
