Veterans are teaming up with Homeward Bound Adirondacks, a group that assists veterans and their families, to raise awareness about the alarming number of suicides by veterans. A VA study found 22 veterans take their own lives — everyday — across the nation. In many cases, the veterans had struggled with PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury.
The Malone YMCA is so proud to join forces with Malone Amvets Malone Post No. 8 and the American Legion Post 219 Malone, NY to support Homeward Bound Adirondacks. Homeward Bound is a local organization providing necessary services, including PTSD retreats, travel to & from appointments, and emergency help, to veterans & their families in and around Franklin County. To learn more about this organization, please visit their website. http://www.homewardboundadirondacks.org
