Last night, Mountainside and the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services came together for a powerful conversation on veterans’ mental health and recovery. 
 
Through film, lived experience, and honest dialogue, we explored the realities so many veterans face: trauma, isolation, addiction, and the courage it takes to reach out for support.  
 
Thank you to all who attended and helped make this conversation possible. This is just the beginning. We’re committed to this work and invite you to stay connected and join us as we move MISSION: RECOVERY forward.

Since the 1950s, little green army men have symbolized courage, service, and strength.
 
In this photo series by Mountainside’s in-house creative team, these figures are reimagined—not in battle, but in everyday moments that often go unseen. These are the moments where many veterans fight their hardest battles.
 
In this scene, a soldier stands alone at the mirror: a quiet moment that speaks to the inner battles of trauma, identity, and the courage it takes to heal.

When recovery and veteran service leaders come together, change starts to happen.

“What we’re doing right now could save lives.”

Mountainside Treatment Center, the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services, and Between Wars director Tommy Phillips sat down with Fox to discuss one mission — closing the gaps in veterans’ mental health and recovery care.

This conversation is more than awareness. It’s action.

“Sometimes the hardest part isn’t asking for help — it’s finding where to start.”

Combat Veteran and Veterans Program Lead Keith Appleton knows that struggle firsthand. That’s why Mountainside Treatment Center, is offering a free virtual support group for veterans nationwide.

No cost. No judgment. Just community, connection, and care from people who truly understand.

Because healing starts with one conversation.

“We thank veterans for their service — but gratitude alone isn’t enough.”

In partnership with the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services, Mountainside Treatment Center is amplifying the call for systemic change and accountability — because no one who served this country should be left without support when they come home.

“Too many veterans are falling through the cracks — not because they don’t want help, but because access isn’t there.”

In partnership with the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services, Mountainside Treatment Center and Combat Veteran Keith Appleton are working to close the gaps in veterans’ mental health and recovery care.

As featured on Bloomberg, Keith is using his voice and experience to advocate for greater access, awareness, and support for those who’ve served.

Every veteran deserves the chance to heal.

“After my recovery I began blacking out from the hatred and the rage.”

This raw moment from Between Wars, a film starring The Sopranos’ Michael Imperioli, captures the invisible battles many veterans continue to fight long after coming home.

Mountainside Treatment Center and the New York State Department of Veterans’ Services are working together to close the gaps in veterans’ mental health and recovery support.

Because no veteran should have to fight alone.

Mission: Recovery.

The silent struggle veterans face after coming home is one we can no longer ignore. Many return to civilian life carrying invisible wounds — unseen, unspoken, and often unsupported.

This conversation shines a light on what real recovery looks like and how community, compassion, and awareness can help veterans find healing beyond service.
