How are our veterans doing?

In recognition of Veterans Day 2024, we're hosting a dedicated conversation examining the current state of our nation's veterans and the critical support they need. This episode shines a light on the significant challenges facing many veterans, including:

  • 22 US veterans commit suicide every day
  • More than 40% of female veterans report experiencing military sexual harassment or military sexual trauma
  • 26% of the homeless US population are veterans, amounting to 37,000 homeless veterans
  • More than 1-in-10 U.S. veterans have been diagnosed with a substance use disorder

To dive deeper into these issues and discuss solutions, our host Aaron Turner, CFNJ's Chief Philanthropic Officer, sits down with Matthew Ellison from The Patriot Fund and Joe Brooks from the Veterans Multi-Service Center - two leading organizations providing vital support to veterans in New Jersey.

This conversation serves as an important primer on the challenges veterans face and the organizations working to address them. We encourage you to learn more about the services offered by our guests' organizations:

By shining a spotlight on veteran's issues, we hope to inspire more people to get involved and support those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
