Vets Prevail Offers Mental Health Resources to Returning Vets

Posted September 18th, 2010 in Client News, FFWD News, Web Strategies and tagged , , , by FFWD

Vets Prevail has teamed with FFWD Brands on a nationwide campaign to bring veteran mental-wellness issues to the foreground and break the stigma of seeking help to address Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

In what many would consider a shocking statistic, more soldiers were lost to suicide in 2009 than to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. In an attempt to minimize this statistic and reduce the stigma of seeking help, VetsPrevail has released the viral video, “Veterans Suicide – We Must Overcome.”

Please view this video in it’s entirety and forward to the vets in your life, their families and friends.

To combat these issues, VetsPrevail has developed a free, e-learning program (www.VetsPrevail.com) for veterans and service members who are struggling with the debilitating effects of PTSD, depression and anxiety. The program lasts six weeks and provides members with the tools they need to increase self-awareness of their issues, and receive support from fellow military members who have completed the program. Anonymity and privacy are the hallmarks of this program which is available to veterans at no cost.

Vets PrevailSM is a service of Prevail Health Solutions LLC, created For Vets, By VetsSM. Vets Prevail is an anonymous, free, e-learning program that helps Veterans and Service Members reintegrate into civilian life and build resilience against Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, stress, anxiety, and other deployment-related mental health issues. For more information, see www.vetsprevail.com. View the video below and please do not hesitate to pass this along to veterans, their friends and family.
