On the Homefront: Connecting Military, Vets and Their Families with Mental Health Care.

Every day 22 American Veterans die by suicide. Veterans in this country are disproportionately affected by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Nearly 1/3 of military personnel and Veterans experience symptoms of mental health conditions, yet do not seek treatment. Military and Veteran families also display high rates of stress and mental health symptoms, related to multiple deployments, anxiety and changes they see in their service member or Veteran.
Join us for a webinar that will:

*       Explore ways the mental health field can effectively reach out to military personnel, Veterans and their families

*       Provide insight into military culture

*       Walk you through NAMI's new program NAMI Homefront [6-session educational program offered for free to families, caregivers and friends of military service members and Veterans experiencing symptoms of mental health conditions]
