Give an Hour Provides Mental Health Services to Veterans, Service Members and their Families
COVID-19 is affecting the lives of every person in the world. As Americans, we know our service members and veterans have been on the front lines of dealing with extraordinary challenges for generations and the coronavirus is no different. These men and women have been protecting our nation and sacrificing so much since the moment that they took their oath.
Many of our veterans have answered the nation’s call to service again … as first responders. Did you know that 20 PERCENT of our first responders are veterans and in some areas are 50 PERCENT?
That is one of the reasons that for more than 15 years, Give an Hour and the Campaign to Change Direction have provided more than 325,000 hours of pro bono mental health services to veterans, service members and their loved ones.
In response to the pandemic, Give an Hour’s network of licensed therapists is providing free virtual mental health services for veterans, service members, and families at a time when many can't meet up in person due to social distancing regulations.
Give an Hour has also created free COVID-19 resources such as the Healthy Habits of Emotional Wellbeing that are available to our military community.
If you know a veteran or service member who might benefit from our FREE resources and counseling, please share our website.
“Give an Hour has been helping the veteran and military community for fifteen years. We remain committed to serve those who serve during this difficult time.” said Randy Phelps, PhD., CEO of Give an Hour. “Thank you to the GlobalGiving community for supporting our vital work.”
