Read Stories > Stand By a Veteran

Whether they happen in an instant or over a long period of time, to ourselves or a loved one, changes in behavior can sometimes be hard to recognize. That’s one reason that Veterans’ families or friends are often the first to notice when something isn’t quite right. 

“Stand By a Veteran,” a new public service announcement from Make the Connection, encourages families and friends to pay attention to any big or small changes in behavior in the Veterans they care about. Shifts in overall mood, drinking habits, lifestyle, or other behavior may signal a larger health concern.
