Join our Volunteer, Air Force Veteran, Peer Support Specialist, and Writer/Author Steven Bates TONIGHT for "Mid-Week Musings!" edition of Warriors for Life (WFL) Online, sponsored and presented by Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV).
We are asking everyone to share who we are and what support that Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV) is providing via WFL. If you know someone who is a veteran, first responder or a family member/caregiver, please ask them to join us for at least one meeting so they can learn more about what we do and how they can share their wisdom with others who may be able to learn from them.
TONIGHT's Topic: "Barriers!"
"Today is National Barrier Awareness Day. While the intention by an act of Congress was to make society aware of the obstacles that disabled persons often face when interacting in and with the environment and to help remove said obstacles, we can take the opportunity to help us become aware of the many obstacles and barriers that we who suffer with PTSD and depression often face with our interactions.
Types of Barriers to Care
What are the barriers that come between you and a positive life experience? What limitations does one who struggles with PTSD often face when interacting with society? What barriers does depression place on one trying to survive in society? What prevents a veteran, or anyone struggling with mental illness, from enjoying a harmonious life with family, friends, and society as a whole?"
Join us for the Warriors for LIfe Mid-Week Musings Peer support group with Air Force veteran, author, and Peer Support Specialist Steven Bates as we discuss barriers, not only to our physical environments, but our social and mental health ones as well.
