is a veteran. Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs encourages all
Counties to help highlight September 22nd in recognition of the 22
veteran suicides that occur across the nation each day.
Veterans are at risk for suicide for all the reasons a non-veteran might
be, such as coping with the effects of aging, legal problems, exposure to
bullying behavior, relationship problems or financial stress.
Additionally, veterans may be dealing with lingering effects from their
military service, difficulties with readjusting to family roles and civilian
life after discharge, and underlying mental Illness.
During music breaks we will have local providers share information
about their services and a few wellness tips.
