22 Suicides a Day<\/h2>\n
Every single day, 22 veterans take their own lives. That\u2019s\u00a022 suicides a day<\/strong>, a suicide every 65 minutes. As shocking as that number is, the real number may actually be higher.<\/p>\n The VA researchers used death records from 21 states to come up with a 2010 national estimate for veterans of all ages. As a group, veterans are old. Military service being far rarer than it was in the days of the draft, more than 91% of the nation\u2019s 22 million veterans are at least 35 years old, and the overwhelming majority did not serve in the post-9\/11 era.<\/p>\n About 72% of veterans are at least 50. It is not surprising, then, that the VA found that people in this age group account for 69% of veteran suicides \u2014 or more than 15 of the 22 suicides per day.\u00a0 \u00a0Help Stop Veteran Suicides<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The key to ending homelessness is housing.\u00a0 We would Challenge each of you to help End Veteran Homelessness by making a permanent commitment to ensure homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring, beginning with Veterans.<\/p>\n Since 2014, 71\u00a0communities across 33\u00a0states<\/a><\/p>\n and the entire states of VA, DE, and CT Challenge by federal partners including the\u00a0U.S Interagency Council on Homelessness<\/a>, the\u00a0U.S. Department of\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Housing and Urban Development<\/a>, and the\u00a0U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a type of anxiety disorder brought on by a terrifying or horrific event, such as witnessing a death or losing a loved one. Understanding PTSD treatments that are available is the first step towards learning how to cope with this disorder.<\/p>\n Old and new PTSD treatments fall into two main categories: psychotherapy and medication. Different treatment centers for PTSD may offer different treatment options, but cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a common form of psychotherapy. CPT focuses on helping patients to understand how they view themselves and their trauma, by encouraging them to talk about the impact the trauma has had on their lives and to evaluate ways to move past it. For example, it may involve helping people to realize they weren’t responsible for events that were beyond their control but for which they blame themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" John 14:1 \u201cLet not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.\u201d 22 Suicides a Day Every single day, 22 veterans take their own lives.
