What's Killing Our Soldiers and Veterans At Home?
VFVC thinks you ought to know about the disturbing numbers of military memebers that are dying from suicide while serving and after returning home from the middle east. Are we ready to treat and care for service members and veterans who need help to deal with mental injuries that are a part of going to war?
The VA's plan to reduce the number of beds in their mental health wards is coming at a very bad time! Even after this war in the Middle East is over, thousands of service members and veterans will have been through this ordeal and hundreds will likely require some help.
