Stigma festers in the dark and scatters in the light.
By speaking out, I hope to help dispel stigma. To help anyone struggling know they’re not alone — and to have hope. 1/

Since the new 3-digit mental health crisis number went live under a week ago, the Veterans Crisis Line (dial 988 and press 1) has seen about a 20% increase in calls and a 40% increase in texts compared to this time last year. Proud of you all for reaching out. 🤩
Share the new #VeteransCrisisLine number with those you served with so they’re prepared in case of a crisis—Dial 988 then Press 1.
