May is National Mental Health Awareness Month We are committed to supporting our Veterans and ensuring they have access to the mental health resources they need. Our heroes deserve the best care and assistance available. This month, we want to highlight three essential programs designed specifically for Veterans: Face The Fight: A comprehensive coalition and initiative providing resources, support, and community for Veterans facing mental health challenges and the battle to end Veteran Suicide. Cohen Veterans Network: Offering high-quality, accessible mental health care for post-9/11 Veterans and their families. The Cohen Veterans Network is dedicated to improving the quality of life for Veterans through tailored therapy and support. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs: The VA provides a wide range of mental health services, including therapy, counseling, and medication management, ensuring Veterans receive the care they need. Join us in raising awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. Let's ensure every Veteran knows that help is available, and they are not alone. Ps.

NEOPAT helps veterans discover resources available to them, such as www.MakeTheConnection.net from the Department of Veteran Affairs, that shows they are not alone in facing their challenges. Hear how these Veterans reached out for support to address a mental health concern. If you're considering getting help, it's time to learn about the many services and programs available through VA. It's never too late to get the help you deserve. https://ow.ly/eVta50P0i56

Clinical Social Worker: Maybe this has to do with what was drilled into you in the military. Me: What? Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in all we do: Clinical Social Worker: 😂 (laughs) No. How you’re trained to do things a particular way, and if not done correctly, punishment is delivered. I found that to be a thoughtful insight I’ve never considered. I’ve been doing substance use disorder therapy since 2018. Today, the tip was to use SOBER breathing exercises 😮💨 Stop Observe Breathe Expand Respond While you check in with yourself using the five SOBER steps, your field of awareness moves much like the shape of an hourglass--from wide or broad awareness at the beginning to narrow in the middle and back to wide at the end of the practice. Anyways, this is your friendly nudge that therapy is a good thing. I do it. I encourage those struggling with mental health to have the courage to talk with a professional. #therapy #SOBER #veteranshelpingveterans

At Freespira, we’re committed to supporting access to mental health treatment for all people. Yet research continues to show the stark challenges, especially among veterans.   Despite the critical work of the Veterans Health Administration, more than half of veterans with mental health conditions are still struggling. For veterans with substance abuse disorders, that number rises to nearly 9 in 10.   Why the gap in access? Economist and Marine veteran Sergio Ernesto Barrera, an assistant professor at Virginia Tech is leading a two-year study to tackle this issue. Barrera’s team will explore the obstacles that deter veterans from seeking care, assess the current treatment options, and seek to understand individual factors that affect care delivery.   Freespira is proud to offer an evidence-based digital therapeutic treatment for veterans battling panic attacks or PTSD symptoms. But our work won’t be done until all people are able to access the mental healthcare they need. Join us in supporting our heroes. 🤝 #MentalHealthEquity #VeteransSupport #PTSD #PanicDisorder #AccessToCare   Read more: https://lnkd.in/gDe6Sgim  

World TB Day reminds us of the intricate connection between physical and mental health. As a psychologist, I understand the toll tuberculosis takes on individuals and communities. Let's use this day to raise awareness not only about the disease itself but also about the psychological impact it can have. By fostering understanding and support, we can empower those affected by TB to navigate their journey with resilience and hope. Together, let's strive for comprehensive health and well-being for everyone. #WorldTBDay #MentalHealthMatters #EndTB #HealthEquity
