An online hub has been launched by the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families to offer support for people impacted by military sexual trauma. It provides resources on military sexual misconduct and trauma recovery and aids for health care providers treating Veterans.
Veterans are increasingly facing loneliness, with nearly one-quarter living alone, a rate higher than the general population. Operation VetBuild, a program at Royal Canadian Legion branches, aims to reduce this isolation by providing socializing opportunities through model-building activities. Although effective for participants, the program faces challenges in attracting younger Veterans. The issue of loneliness among Veterans is significant, as it’s associated with various health problems and impacts their overall well-being. Understanding and addressing this loneliness is crucial for supporting Veteran communities.
