It's a heavy load, but we can overcome when we show up and support each other.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and Do Good is doing our part to support Veterans mental health.
Approximately 23 Veterans die by suicide every day
Rates of depression among soldiers are 3x higher than civilians
Less than 50% of returning Veterans in need receive mental health services
The leading causes of houselessness among Veterans are PTSD, social isolation, and substance abuse
Veterans have a higher risk of houselessness than civilians due to depression, PTSD, and brain injury
Load up your pack and support our houseless Veterans.
Event proceeds will benefit Do Good Multnomah, a non-profit organization that provides support services & low-barrier shelter to houseless Veterans.
More information can be found on the Do Good Multnomah website
