Important Message for Afghanistan Veterans and Families
We recognize how difficult it is for many, especially for those who served in Afghanistan, their families, survivors, and those who care for Veterans. We would like to spread the message of resources to help and reach as many as we can. We’re not only encouraging those who need help to seek it, but we’re working to ensure those affected know that what they feel – distress, anxiety, anguish, even questioning their service – are all normal feelings. Most importantly, let them know they are not alone.
Emergency Mental Health Care
If you are having thoughts of suicide, please call 1-800-273-8255, press Option 1 or visit the Veteran’s Crisis Line website to text and chat.
