We understand the recent events in Afghanistan have been difficult to watch, especially for those in our military and veteran community. It is natural to be overwhelmed with emotions, but you don’t have to process them alone.

If you or a loved one needs support, contact Mission United to speak to a member of our care team and get connected to resources. Remember, there is strength in seeking help. 🇺🇸💙
