VFW Post 210 Holiday Member Healthcheck
Post 210 Members conduct an annual Holiday Health-check in December. Goal is to contact each local VFW member, drop off a holiday gift from Post 210 and check to see how they are doing. Our goal is to know our members and make sure they understand their benefits as veterans. We want them to know they are not alone and we are here to support them.
You were not alone then, you are
not alone now. There are 20 million vets who would give their lives for
you. PLEASE, don't take yours.
After a traumatic experience, it's normal to feel frightened, sad,
anxious, and disconnected. But if the upset doesn't fade and you feel
stuck with a constant sense of danger and painful memories, you may be
suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It can seem like
you'll never get over what happened or feel normal again.
This is why we have created the "buddy-buddy" program. Veterans
like you, that have shared a similar experience or trauma in one of our
nations many conflicts, are available to talk with you openly and
privately and help you deal with issues associated with your experience.
If you are struggling, if you are in pain, if you just need to talk, please call.
