Leading up to Veteran's Day, we want to honor the sacrifices of those who have served our country while recognizing the toll of this service on veterans' lives.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, military personnel drink alcohol at higher rates than others. Veterans with an alcohol use disorder might have begun misusing alcohol while still on active duty as a way of coping with problems like stress or isolation. If you need help with substance use, call 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Mental health is just as important for the black community as it is for any other community. But unfortunately, black people are often less likely to seek mental health treatment due to stigma, discrimination, and lack of access to culturally competent care.

That's why we were so excited to be a sponsor and participant in the Mental Health in the Black Community event held in Nicholtown yesterday evening. The event was also sponsored by Sustaining Way, NAMI, and FAVOR Greenville.
