Military veterans sacrifice their time, safety and well-being to protect our country. The physical and mental toll that military service can take on an individual can be lifelong. Our support for their continued health once they return home is the least we can do to thank them.
Use these resources to learn about the mental health challenges our veterans face and how we can support them. Print, distribute or share via social media the materials in this toolkit all year long: resources.lucet.health/toolkit-veterans-support
If you or someone you know is a veteran or military family member experiencing a mental health crisis, call 9-8-8 and press 1 to connect with the 24/7, free and confidential Veterans Crisis Line. For more resources, contact Military OneSource at 800-342-9647.
