Learn What Veterans Know This Mental Health Month

A caregiver holds the hand of a person they are caring for.

Veterans can take many different paths toward improving their mental health, but for many that journey begins when they connect with a fellow veteran. Veterans who are facing life challenges tend to trust each other, bonding over the common experiences they share. This year, VA’s annual Mental Health Month campaign, Veterans Know, demonstrates and leverages the mutual respect, understanding, and caring among veterans. Throughout May, visitors to Make The Connection will find powerful messages of hope and encouragement from veterans for veterans and their supporters. The campaign invites veterans to learn some important things that other veterans know, including inspirational ideas to keep in mind, such as:

  • Connection is key
  • Barriers can be broken
  • It can get better
  • Connection is key
  • You can get through it
  • Support helps with healing
  • It’s never too late to start healing
