šŗšø TODAY IS 988 DAY | SEPTEMBER 8
Veterans, check on your Battle Buddy.
We learned in the military to look out for the person beside us. That mission doesnāt end when the uniform comes off.
Today, Zen Gab Foundation is asking every Veteran to reach out to one fellow Veteran.
š± Send the text.
š Make the call.
ā Sit down and talk.
š And donāt be afraid to ask: āHow are you REALLY doing?ā
You donāt have to wait for someone to be in crisis to show up for them. Sometimes one conversation, one connection, or simply knowing someone cares can make a difference.
Connection before crisis.
And Veteransāremember to check on yourself, too. Your mental wellness deserves the same attention you give everyone else.
