Huge thank you to East Lynne Theater Company for giving space to such a meaningful and raw conversation around su***de, mental health, and healing in the Veteran community. We were honored to stand alongside our fellow Coalition members and friends to share truth, struggle, and—most importantly—hope.

The power of storytelling, community, and speaking the unspeakable can’t be overstated. These kinds of conversations save lives. Let’s keep having them.

👥 If you're a Veteran or family member navigating mental health challenges, please know: you are not alone, and your story matters.

🎭 And if you haven’t seen Every Brilliant Thing yet—don’t miss it. The next talk-back will focus on “Practicing Everyday Joy and Resilience” with Cooper University Health Care Cape Regional. Keep showing up. Keep talking.
