Our country — especially the veteran community — is combating a health crisis: suicide. The swirling news cycle regarding the challenges in Afghanistan, the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and the ongoing stigma surrounding mental health care have put our efforts at Boot Campaign at an all time high.
This September during Suicide Prevention Month, we need your help to spread a simple, yet extremely important message:
Wearing or using gear from our YOU MATTER collection will spread this important reminder and encourage intentional conversations with others. 100% of funds raised from the YOU MATTER collection supports veterans seeking care and treatment.
Our team has spent the last few weeks reaching out to the more than 300 veterans receiving care through our Health & Wellness program and will continue this effort as the situation in Afghanistan continues to unfold.
More than four times the number of those who raised their right hand to protect and defend our freedoms have died on home soil by their own hand than those who were killed in action since 9/11. Together we must do more.
