#VetResources Check-In videos provide resources for mental health, coping strategies

Veteran Resources 

There’s a lot going on right now and you don’t have to go through it alone. We invite you to view our #VetResources Check-In video series with resources, advice and information for Veterans and their families to support mental health, resiliency and coping strategies.

Veterans may be experiencing a range of challenging emotions related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Veterans who served in U.S. military conflicts may be feeling emotional distress, as they are reminded of their deployment experiences.

Our goal is to provide you with an outlet for mental health support that is evidence-informed, dependable, accessible and valuable to help you cope with the world’s current events.
