If you are a veteran struggling with depression, addiction or stress you are not alone.
Don't wait. Get the Help that You Need.
War does not end when our troops come home. The experience of elder generations of veterans has shown that for many, leaving the war-zone marks the beginning of a new battle, one to retain life and liberty against the mental and emotional costs of war.
A recent study of homebound veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom demonstrated that 30% of America’s over one million new veterans suffer from combat related mental health issues, and 15% will receive a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD).
The struggles of Vietnam veterans indicate that we can expect high levels of homelessness, alcoholism, drug addiction, and, sadly, suicide among this population unless they receive the help they need. National newspapers are already reporting a growing homeless population of veterans who served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Many of these troops served with the Army Reserve and National Guard, men and women called to duty from local communities all across the United States. While federal agencies are doing all they can to encourage veterans’ recovery, there is a real need all over America for community-based, grassroots initiatives in support of this new generation of veterans.
