Operation Recap: September
Mental health and wellness are essential components of veterans’ and their families’ overall well-being, but they are often under-addressed. September’s focus on this topic underscores Mission Roll Call’s commitment to ensuring that veterans and their families have access to the mental health resources and support they need. Whether it’s dealing with the long-term effects of service, such as post-traumatic stress or anxiety, or managing day-to-day wellness, we are dedicated to advocating for comprehensive mental health and wellness care for all veterans and families.
With suicide rates still alarmingly high in the veteran community, this issue is critical to our mission. Throughout September, we highlighted stories, resources, and organizations dedicated to improving veterans’ mental health and well-being.
