According to the RAND Center for Military Health Policy Research 20% of the vets who served in either Iraq or Afghanistan suffer from either major depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. 19.5% of vets in these two categories have experienced a traumatic brain injury. These three service related disorders alone have an enormous impact on the demand for veteran mental health treatment.

The National Veterans' Synagogue is currently developing an initiative to maintain optimal mental health among our veterans. To volunteer please contact us at natvetsyneagogue@gmail.com
