Stop Soldier Suicide is a vital organization dedicated to supporting veterans and service members who face mental health challenges. As we honor their sacrifices, let’s also recognize the struggles they endure after their military service. Did you know? - The suicide rate among veterans is 1.5 times higher than that of non-veterans, especially among young veterans aged 18-35. - Transitioning from the structured military environment to civilian life can be daunting, leading to unique challenges. How can you make a difference? - Donate: Your contribution can provide critical mental health and wellness care to veterans and service members. - Spread Awareness: Share this post to raise awareness about the importance of supporting our military community. - Advocate: Encourage others to join the cause and help prevent veteran suicides. Remember, $30 can provide one hour of free, trauma-informed mental health care. Let’s come together to support those who have served our nation. 🙏 Please make a donation at the link below: https://lnkd.in/g8_PBc2i 🌟 #StopSoldierSuicide #VeteransMentalHealth #SupportOurHeroes

This is a statistic that hits close to home, considering our heart and connection to the military community, and it's one we're hoping to lessen through the course of our programs. But we know that it's not a single organization - or single person's - matter to solve. 💛 We also know that a single person and organization's efforts can make a difference to #TalkAwayTheDark, no matter if they're part of the military community or not. Here's a few ways we can do that: 💛 If you suspect someone you know or love is considering suicide, educate yourself on what that might look like. Then, there are steps you can take to talk about it: https://lnkd.in/gdrycPZh 💛 Find a cause, such as the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention or The Veterans' Crisis Line, that speaks to you. Consider making a donation to help fund suicide research and awareness, or simply use their resources to get educated: https://lnkd.in/d_PNaU2 💛 Help us continue to bring light to those serving at home, including our military and their families, by visiting us online at www.hkfva.org.

On Veteran’s Day, we thank all those who have served our Country. Here are 8 Ways to Say 'Thank You Veterans' on Veterans Day 🇺🇸 1. Say "Thank You Veterans" by Showing Up – find and attend your local Veterans Day parade 2. Donate to Veteran-Focused Charities – Check out Wounded Warrior, Operation Second Chance, Freedom Service Dogs of America 3. Fly a Flag – Correctly. Checkout miliary.com to learn the proper rules for displaying the American Flag 4. Ask Someone About Their Service. Chances are, they will want to share with you. 5. Write a letter to say "thank you veterans". Visit the Soldiers of Angels website to learn more 6. Don't Confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day. Veterans Day is a time to thank those who are serving or have served and are still with us. Memorial Day is to reflect and remember those who lost their lives in service to their country. Confusing the two or combining the two diminishes the importance of both. 7. Visit a VA Hospital - Many VA facilities will have events on Veterans Day or a special lunch you can help prepare. 8. Get Outdoors with a Veteran - Invite a veteran or a military family to explore a national park; admission is free for all visitors on Veterans Day. Being outside helps improve physical and mental health, boosts emotional well-being and is a great way to celebrate the day with a veteran. ❤️🤍💙 #childfamilycenter #veteransmentalhealth #veteransday
