Shout out to John Credell, a Buddy since 2018 who’s supported over 18 #Veterans and #caregivers. 💙. He signed up to give back. What he found was purpose and #community. Thank you, John, for showing up with heart and humility!

Stigma keeps #Veterans from getting help. The language. The assumptions. The silence. It stops people from speaking up or reaching out. This #PTSDawarenessDay, let’s change that.

On #FlagDay, we honor a symbol that connects us all. 🇺🇸. Richard, from our Buddy Program, carried the flag at the NYC Veterans Day Parade. “Carrying the flag unites us. It strengthens our shared experiences in service to America.” 💙

Men are less likely to get checked, and Veterans often push through pain instead of speaking up.

We call #militarykids “resilient,” but that word can hide what they’re really carrying. Teens in military families face higher rates of depression and suicidal thoughts. Resilience and struggle can exist at the same time, and both deserve to be seen. #MentalHealthAwareness
