You've heard it before, but let's break the stigma! 💪 It's time to normalise men showing emotions, reaching out for a chat, and asking for help. 🤗 You don't have to go it alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out for support. A great place to start is Open Arms - Veterans & Families Counselling 💬💙 #MentalHealthMatters #SupportMen #Veterans #TYFYS #VeteranSupport #AustralianVeterans #VeteranHealth #VeteranMentalHealth

According to the VA, nearly 40,0000 veterans live on the streets or in homeless shelters. Why does veteran homelessness happen? Many veterans leave service with multiple emotional, mental, and physical issues, unprepared for the challenges of returning to civilian life. Some veterans enter a cycle of physical and mental health issues, substance use, criminal activity, and unemployment, each problem compounding the other and eventually leading to homelessness. We must do better for veterans and ensure they get the healthcare and housing benefits they are entitled to.
