In support of Mental Health Awareness Month, our amazing staff showed up in green and jeans as a powerful reminder that mental health IS health — and that no one has to face their battles alone. 💚👖

This month serves as a reminder that help is always within reach. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, or simply going through a tough season — we have resources available to support you:

🟢 Mental Health counseling & therapy
🟢 PTSD treatment & support
🟢 Substance use & recovery services
🟢 Crisis intervention & same-day mental health care
🟢 Peer support & Veteran community connections

It's okay to ask for help. In fact, it's one of the bravest things you can do. We are proud to serve Veterans with the compassionate, whole-person care they deserve — because caring for the mind is just as important as caring for the body.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please know that help is always available. The Veterans Crisis Line is free, confidential, and available 24/7:
📞 Call 988, then Press 1
💬 Text 838255
