To keep you intentional on building your family's resilience during this challenging time, we want to encourage modeling positive coping skills to the kids in your life. Now is the time to teach kids that you don’t need alcohol or other drugs to cope with hard things. We can model healthy coping skills and prove the value of slowing down, going outside, and using deep breathing to calm down.

This Veterans Day, I encourage you to become familiar with the Veterans Crisis Line. This line is free and available 24/7 for our Veterans who are struggling emotionally and want a confidential, qualified, resource to speak too.

From 2008, we have lost over 6,000 Veterans per year by suicide. This is due to many reasons, as there is never a single factor for suicide, but resources and support are available all around for our heroes in need.

Take time today to thank and show your support to a Veteran, and I encourage you to learn more about what efforts you can take to save our heroes from emotional pain.
