Empowering Veterans: Discover Free Mental Health Services from Calm Source!

Support for Veterans: Calm Source’s Mission to ​Aid ​Mental Health Recovery

DANVILLE,⁣ Virginia – Calm Source, a business helmed by disabled veterans,​ is dedicated to assisting fellow military personnel on their journey ‌toward healing from trauma, addiction, and various mental ‍health issues.

Free Mental Health Services for Veterans

This Danville-based nonprofit has recently launched complimentary mental health and ⁣addiction recovery services ‍specifically tailored for veterans. This initiative follows the receipt of funding from ‌the Virginia Department of Veteran Affairs.

The Personal Impact of⁣ Military Trauma

“Veterans may deal with PTSD or face⁣ stressors stemming from military life. Confronting these issues can be challenging,” said​ Leon Zimmerman⁣ III, Director of Operations at Calm Source. “Engaging in⁤ dialogue with fellow veterans can provide substantial support in‍ these cases.”

Leon Zimmerman III emphasizes the importance of reducing obstacles ⁢to care in order to prevent others from ⁣experiencing the⁣ despair his father once ⁤faced. His father’s struggles deeply influenced his commitment to this cause.

A Personal Story of Struggle and Healing

“As a veteran myself, I⁢ faced suicidal thoughts years ago,” shared Leon Zimmerman Jr.,‍ the Veteran Liaison at Calm Source. “I⁣ understand ‘veteran talk’—sometimes it can be tough for veterans to express their feelings to those outside their​ community. When they converse with each other, it creates an empathic understanding that proves‍ incredibly helpful.”

Zimmerman III elaborates on this point: “His experiences provided me insight into what many face; while ⁣I didn’t witness everything he endured‌ directly, I have seen friends struggle after serving in the military. My ⁢father’s battle inspires me every day as ‍we strive to offer veterans the assistance they rightfully need.”

Comprehensive Services Offered at ⁤No Cost

Calm Source provides ⁣extensive services such as ‍licensed⁣ professional counseling ⁣sessions and peer support groups—resources that would otherwise cost between $300 and ⁣$400 daily.

“Many veterans hesitate when seeking help due to fears⁤ about cost,” noted Zimmerman Jr. “When they are made aware⁢ that there⁢ are free resources available,​ they often feel more encouraged to pursue ⁢these​ much-needed support options.”

Confronting an​ Alarming Statistic: Veteran Suicides

Currently, approximately 22 veterans take their own lives each ​day—a statistic they hope will decrease significantly through increased awareness and access:

“It’s unfathomable that individuals who served ​our country might choose suicide simply ⁣because⁢ they don’t know how or where to seek help,” lamented Zimmerman Jr.​ “They need reassurance that their struggles matter; they aren’t invisible.” ⁣

Future Plans for Expansion and Support Services

Looking ahead, Calm Source anticipates⁢ offering‍ complimentary services soon in Roanoke as part of its mission expanding outreach⁤ efforts.
