Veterans have served our nation with honor, but many face serious challenges after returning home. Around 25.8% of veterans live with mental illnesses like PTSD. Gulf War veterans specifically see a 12% rate of PTSD in any given year. These invisible wounds often lead to other hardships - over 1 in 3 veterans experience homelessness, substance abuse, or unemployment issues.

Join the awareness event on June 14th from 5-8pm in Payson, UT for a unique demolition derby car show experience. Let's come together as a community to learn more about PTSD and how we can better support our veterans in need.

Taking the time to relax and recharge your batteries can help with irritability, burnout, and improving your mood. It increases capacity for attention and to focus better. There are a few domains where you can unplug or recharge.

Physical battery: take a warm bath, eat a healthy meal, stretch, getting extra sleep, going for a walk
Sensory battery: taking a break from screen use, putting your devices on silent, get some fresh air, deep breathing, finding a quiet space to sit or lay down
Mental battery: taking short breaks, breaking down tasks on a to-do list, doing a thought dump, listening to music
Emotional battery: checking in with yourself and your needs, phone call with a family member or friend, scheduling a social activity with others
Spiritual battery: meditation, yoga, volunteering, prayer, practicing gratitude and identifying 3 good things from today

Being creative can increase positive emotions, reduce depressive symptoms and anxiety, and improve the functioning of our immune systems.

- trying a new recipe
- drawing or painting
- singing or playing music
- dancing and moving your body
- writing or telling stories
- spending time in nature

TW: Su***de

September is Su***de Prevention Month. Much credible evidence based research has shown that su***de is something that effects millions of Americans each year. Our fight in mental health is to help resource those who may be struggling with thoughts of su***de or self-harm.

We invite you to reach out, listen, and seek help for you or a loved one. We understand that this may be an uncomfortable conversation and one that we may not want to have. We also know that by working together and reaching out to others, we can help support others who may be struggling.
