The event that connects Veterans with resources and encourages outdoor activities to improve mental health. This is a free event and everyone is invited. \n\n\n\nWhy do we have Veterans Get Outside Day?\n\n\n\nMVA leadership is deeply concerned about the Veteran suicide rate. It is no secret that suicide claims far too many people. Military Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are at an even greater risk of depression\, unclear thinking\, and suicide. In 2022\, the most recent data available\, 6\,407 Veterans took their lives. Of the 47\,891 Americans who died from suicide in 2022\, 13.37% were Veterans. Since Veterans make up about 6% of the U.S. adult population\, this is significant. The 2024 VA National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report found that we lose an average of 17.6 Veterans per day to suicide\, of which only 7 had received VA healthcare services in the previous two years. They may not even be aware of the resources available. With events like Veterans Get Outside Day\, we hope to connect all Veterans with government or community resources that can improve their lives. \n\n\n\nStudies have shown that individuals who spend time outdoors in natural settings\, whether they are doing sports or other activities\, have a better outlook on life. It is hoped that this event will encourage Veterans and others that may be struggling to find an activity or resources that will excite them about spending more time outside and enjoy life. Events like Veterans Get Outside Day can help bridge that gap. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, visit: Military Veterans Advocacy\, 2025 Niagara Falls Get Outside Day URL:https://amacfoundation.org/event/veterans-get-outside-day-niagara-falls/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://amacfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/military-veterans-advocacy.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250611T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250611T113000 DTSTAMP:20260415T063515 CREATED:20250528T134100Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250528T134157Z UID:10000393-1749639600-1749641400@amacfoundation.org SUMMARY:Unlock the Secrets of Social Security Disability Benefits DESCRIPTION:Confused about Social Security disability programs?
