“The brave men and women, who serve their country and as a result, live constantly with the war inside them, exist in a world of chaos. But the turmoil they experience isn’t who they are; the PTSD invades their minds and bodies.” -Robert Kroger, Death’s Revenge
You served your country with honor and dignity; your mental health should be managed with the same approach. Recent studies indicate that 30% of active duty and reserve personnel reported a mental health condition including PTSD, depression, or anxiety, during deployment; however, less than 50% of returning veterans seek mental health treatment. According to the El Paso County Coroner’s report, fifty-three veterans completed suicide in 2021, underscoring the issues that affect our community today.
There needs to be a change in how we talk about mental health and that change begins with you.
If you are in need of immediate care, please call 9-8-8 + 1 for Veteran’s Assistance from the National Suicide Crisis Lifeline
“We were not allowed to speak of the unseen wounds of war. We were not allowed to prepare for them.” -Army Psychologist Brig. General Loree Sutton, Thank You For Your Service.
