One in three Veterans returns home with an invisible wound of service. If untreated, these can lead to increased risks of suicide and substance use. The suicide rate of veterans far exceeds that of the U.S. adult population.
This Veterans Day, as we honor those who served our Nation for making a difference when it counted, DLC and its partners are bringing awareness to Veterans mental health at DLCMindYourMind.org.
Veterans need to know barriers can be broken, they can get better and they are never alone. You can help by encouraging a veteran who’s struggling to seek support.
