September is National Suicide Prevention Month.   As a Military and Veteran Community member, I have had far too many friends who are no longer with us. It is an unfortunate reality of the profession.   For years, it has been reported that the Veteran suicide rate was 22 a day. Many of us in the community have said that the number was probably half of the true number. Well, according to a report this year, the actual number is at least 40-44 veterans a day who die from suicide.   There is nothing worse than realizing how many lives we are losing to the battle at home compared to those lost in combat or training.   We need to make talking about what is going on with ourselves a normal part of the daily conversation. There is strength in being open about all of the things that we are fighting. Finding your team who you trust to let in is a process, but once you find them things start to change and get better.   The important thing to remember is that we are not alone in our battles and struggles.   #Suicide #SuicidePrevention #SuicideAwareness #NationalSuicidePreventionMonth #StrongerThanStigma #Veteran #Military   #BruceTalk

We’ve got a problem. The demand for support from bereaved military families far, far outstrips what we at Scotty’s can afford. We can’t keep up. We need to generate £2m this year just to stand still and yet there are over 2,000 children bereaved of a parent who served every year. What you can do to help… ➡️ Can your business sign up to our Business Heroes Club? It’s £250/£500/£1k a month. ➡️ Could you nominate Scotty’s as your company’s charity of the year? ➡️ Can you afford to make a small donation? ➡️ How about fundraising at the Scotty’s March? ➡️ Or what about donating a % of sales from a product line? Together we can provide the support our bereaved military families deserve, but we need your help 🙌

We had the honor of sponsoring the 11th Annual Calibre Golf Classic! For 11 years, CALIBRE Systems, Inc. has raised money for Homes For Our Troops (HFOT), and this year's beneficiary is USMC Lance Corporal Duncan "Matty" Mathis.

22 A DAY! 22 funerals are happening every single day from Veterans who have lost the battles with their demons. 1 IS TOO MANY! This is why it is so important to support The Veterans Ranch. The free equine therapy services that are offered to our Veterans, Gold Star Families, Active Duty Military, and their families is vitally important to start getting this number down. Horses assist these great #Americans in starting to lay down heavy coats of burden and start to walk off as new and improved version of themselves. By going to www.theveteransranch.org and contributing $22 a month you are helping there to be one less funeral and one more person that is still here with their family at the end of the day. YOU can make that happen. YOU by skipping one pizza a month can save lives. YOU can assist the ones that sacrificed more for you and your freedoms than you can possibly imagine. Can YOU do this? Can YOU skip one pizza a month to save lives? Can YOU help children have their Mother or Father around as they grow up? Look in your hearts and then go to the website and make your contribution today. Your contributions truly save lives. #thankyou

Honoring Unclaimed Benefits for Fallen Military Veterans: A Call to Action! Are you a family member of a deceased military veteran who never filed a claim for compensation or benefits? At #V3T-TALK, we're dedicated to addressing the unmet needs of our fallen heroes and their families. We understand the challenges faced by many families whose loved ones, especially minority veterans, may have been hesitant or unwilling to engage with the VA or the Military due to past negative experiences. It's a sad reality that many deserving families miss out on compensation because their veteran relatives did not express an intent to file for benefits before their passing. However, this shouldn't hinder families from seeking the support they rightfully deserve. #VeteransHelpingVeterans is more than just a hashtag; it's a mission to ensure that every veteran's family receives the recognition and assistance they're entitled to, irrespective of past grievances or mistrust. We acknowledge the barriers and skepticism that minority veterans may have faced, and we're here to make a change. Our initiative aims to explore alternative avenues and resources available for families whose veteran relatives never initiated the claims process. Through advocacy, education, and community support, we're committed to fighting for those families who deserve acknowledgment and compensation. If you're a family member affected by this issue or know someone who might be, join us in our efforts to navigate this complex terrain. Let's work together to honor the legacy of our fallen heroes and ensure their families receive the support they rightfully deserve. Reach out to #V3T-TALK and be a part of the movement toward securing unclaimed benefits for the families of our military veterans. Your involvement could make a significant difference in the lives of those who sacrificed so much for our country. #V3T-TALK #VeteransHelpingVeterans

While DCD Dogs have many talents, and we're very cute, apparently having big ears doesn't make us bunnies 🐰 But, did you know rabbits symbolise sensitivity, gentleness, new beginnings and good luck? Well, so do we! 🐾 Receiving a Defence Community Dog is life-changing. It gives a Veteran suffering PTSD an opportunity to change their life and make a fresh start. A 2018 study found that “compared with usual care alone, military members and Veterans with trained Assistance Dogs show lower PTSD symptomology, reduced depression and increased social participation.” "It’s changed my life. It’s brought me back to the person I used to be. This program is just absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t be here today without it. "Lola was one day off being euthanased, and now she has saved my life." Mick, ADF Veteran and his DCD Dog, Lola Defence Community Dogs. Improving the lives of Veterans. One paw at a time. 🐾 http://www.dcdogs.com.au https://lnkd.in/g8xJsg8Q #veteranassistancedogs #veteransupport #servicedogs #veteranhealth #suicideprevention #veterans #ADF #ausairforce #assistancedog #army #navy #defence #ptsd #defencecommunitydogs #onepawatatime #winwinwin #PTSD #dcdogs #servicedogsaust #yourADF #defencebank #ADFveteranassistancedogs @defencebank
