A season of service

More than one day of thanks

Behind the numbers

Mental health challenges can affect veterans long after their military service ends. These statistics highlight the importance of recognizing mental health needs, reducing stigma, and ensuring support is accessible to those who need it.

Why these numbers matter

Behind every statistic is an individual experience. Mental health challenges can look different for everyone, and not every veteran experiences the same struggles. Whether someone is navigating the transition to civilian life, managing a mental health condition, or supporting a loved one, access to timely, appropriate care matters.
