It’s okay to not be okay.
We don’t say those words enough. We all struggle and we all need time. As the busyness of May makes way for June, let’s continue to advocate for mental health awareness by using our words, kindness and support.
📌 If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, please know that help is available. Call or text 988.

We honor, we remember and we advocate.
On this Memorial Day, we encourage you to spread awareness surrounding the mental health and wellness of those who have given everything to protect us. Su***de is the second leading cause of death for service members and post-9/11 veterans. Let’s amplify on this Memorial Day to help better support our service members, their families and honor all those we’ve lost.
Thank you.
