PTSD Awareness Month, Our Duty to Support Veterans in Need

 

The Veterans Land Board is here to serve Texas Veterans. Visit our website vlb.texas.gov to view all the benefits we offer.

 

 

Our Duty to Support Veterans in Need – Letter from Chairman Bush June is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. Veterans are at a greater risk of developing mental health issues like PTSD due to their exposure to the dangers and stress of military life. For those experiencing PTSD, the condition can also point to a greater risk of suicide. Our team at the VLB is proud to join in the effort to connect Veterans with health care resources through the VA and other organizations who are a part of our expansive Veteran peer network. Whether at a benefits fair, or through our unique therapy treatments offered at our Veterans homes, we are always happy to lend a hand to a Veteran in need.   READ ARTICLE

We were honored to present six Veterans at the Watkins-Logan State Veterans Home this month with their Ambassador for Peace Medals for their service. Another Veteran was awarded the medal posthumously.   READ MORE HERE
