On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we recognize how military service, injury, and diagnosis can impact mental health. At Operation Mend, understanding the impact is part of providing care that addresses the whole person and supports Veterans throughout the recovery process.

At Operation Mend, we recognize the important role Caregivers play in a Warrior’s recovery. Our comprehensive approach includes support for both Warriors and Caregivers, helping families navigate treatment and recovery together. 💙

Today, the Operation Mend family remembers and mourns the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Timothy Miller. Dr. Miller devoted his life to those who served our country. We will miss his wisdom, kindness, humor, and care, but his legacy lives on in every one of us.

25 years later, we continue to honor the first responders who served their communities on 9/11 and recognize the visible and invisible wounds they may carry. At Operation Mend, we know that recognition and remembrance extend beyond a single day. #OperationMend #NeverForget

Meal prep doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. 👨‍🍳 Starting with a short, but versatile grocery list, and focusing on ingredients that store well, can go a long way in making meals easier, more consistent, and more manageable day to day.

Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the US flag. 🇺🇸 We’re reflecting on Mary Pickersgill, who led a group of women in stitching a flag requiring more than 350,000 stitches in just six weeks, and honoring the Veterans and service members who are part of what the flag represents.

PTSD affects how Veterans experience the workplace. When stigma shapes those experiences, it can make it harder to ask for support. At Operation Mend, Veterans receive specialized PTSD treatment designed to support healing and build confidence in all walks of life.
