Be a Veterans Get Outside Day Event Sponsor
Sponsor Veterans Get Outside Day
Military-Veterans Advocacy® (MVA) hosted the Second Annual Veterans Get Outside Day at Ft. Adams, Newport, Rhode Island June 9, 2024. This event connects Veterans with resources and encourages outdoor activities to improve mental health. Your sponsorship will allow us to expand Veteran outreach and provide additional attractions at this free event.
As you may be aware, the Veteran suicide rate is far above the national average and 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 2021, the most recent data available, nearly 6,400 Veterans took their lives. Of the 48,183 Americans who died from suicide in 2021, 13% were Veterans. Since Veterans make up about 6% of the U.S. Adult population, this is significant. Sixty-two percent of Veteran suicides were among those who had not received VA healthcare services in the previous two years. They may not even be aware of the resources available.
Studies 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. It is hoped that events like Veteran Get Outside Day can help bridge that gap.
