Two things close to my heart: mental health and our veterans. This fight isn't over. Our government moves too slow, but on the ground, real work is being done. Organizations are stepping up where others have stalled—getting resources directly to where they’re needed most. I’ve seen the impact firsthand, from my family's military service to the tragic loss of my father-in-law to suicide. This isn’t just a cause; it’s a calling. Let’s move with purpose. Let’s make an impact. 🇺🇸 Join the Mission: Spartanvalor.org #MentalHealthAwareness #VeteransSupport #InspireAndImpact

Freedom isn’t free. It’s a reminder for us to take stock of what we are doing to give back for the ultimate sacrifice of so many. Let’s not forget those that pass on our watch when they come back home. Did you know that suicide is the second-leading cause of death for post-9/11 veterans? Shockingly, 131k soldiers have died by suicide since 2001. We owe it to them to do better. Join us in supporting Stop Soldier Suicide, an organization dedicated to preventing military suicide. Learn more about their work and how you can help: https://lnkd.in/eMDCikTg. Let’s show our gratitude and give back to those who have given so much. Together, we can stop the stigma around mental health and suicide prevention for veterans. #gratitude #giveback #Veterans #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #Veteransmentalhealth #stopthestigma

🇨🇦 Reflecting on Remembrance Day and Supporting Our Veterans 🇨🇦 I chose not to post last week in respect for Remembrance Day. As a military brat, I wanted to make sure we kept the focus on honoring the sacrifices of our veterans and active service members. With Remembrance Day still fresh in our minds, it's crucial to recognize the unique mental health challenges service members face. Veterans and active military personnel are 1.5 times more likely to attempt or commit suicide compared to non-military individuals. This is why supporting causes like Movember is so essential. Mental health and suicide prevention are core pillars of the Movember Foundation’s mission, and initiatives like these can truly make a difference. While thanking military members is important, actively supporting mental health resources and suicide prevention programs goes a step further in giving back. If you, or someone you know, is in crisis, please reach out: 1-833-456-4566 to connect with a crisis responder. Let’s support our veterans, active military, families, friends, and ourselves by prioritizing mental health year-round. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dDx33AP5 #RemembranceDay #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #Movember #SupportOurVeterans

Our military families are the backbone of our veterans' strength, but they face their own unique challenges—worry, separation, and adjusting to life after service. Behind every service member, there’s a family that serves, too. This #NationalVeteransMonth, we honor their resilience and dedication. Here are some great resources to help military families navigate mental health, reintegration, and everyday challenges: Military OneSource Offers free counseling, support, and resources for military families. www.militaryonesource.mil The National Military Family Association (NMFA) Provides advocacy and support for military families, with a focus on mental health and wellness. www.militaryfamily.org Blue Star Families A nonprofit that helps military families connect with local communities and find support. www.bluestarfam.org It's A Military Life itsamilitarylife.org A nonprofit organization committed to supporting military families and veterans, including career services and pen pal connections. Recovery.com Provides online resources for those seeking guidance or treatment for mental health issues. Let’s show them that they’re not alone. #FamilySupport #MilitaryFamilies #VeteransStrong #MentalHealthMatters #WeSupportYou

Veterans are the heart of everything we do. We know that asking for help can be difficult for former serving personnel so our staff receive training to understand military life and the mental health difficulties veterans may face after leaving the Armed Forces. Many of the veterans we support have experienced multiple traumas, and so it’s important that our staff are able to recognise the impact of traumatic experiences on everyday life and are able to respond in a way that prevents further harm, supports their recovery and improves their life chances. Our trauma-informed training is undertaken by all staff – as every meeting we have with veteran matters, whether this is kitchen staff, administrators, fundraisers, clinicians or directors. We want to prevent retraumatisation by enabling everyone to understand some of the ways trauma might affect the veterans who seek our help. We ensure that every interaction we have with them will help them feel safe and confident in the care we provide. We use this knowledge to inform how our whole organisation works, working to principles that ensure we’re operating in a trauma-informed way. These principles include safety, trust, choice, collaboration, empowerment and cultural consideration. Look out for our next post to find out more about these principles. #trauma #traumainformed #veteransupport #veterancommunity
