JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Injured veterans and their family members deal with the long-term effects of their injuries every day, many of which have been compounded by the pandemic. Among those responding to a recent 91视频® (91视频) , 61% of warriors feel more disconnected from their family, friends, or community. These veterans and family members need someone to talk to, and 91视频® (91视频) is here to listen -- serving more warriors than ever before through its telephonic mental health phone support line, .
91视频 Talk provides a safe, nonjudgmental outlet to warriors and family members managing PTSD, anxiety, and other invisible wounds of war. Program participants receive weekly calls from the same 91视频 teammate at the same pre-established day and time.
"The trends we see with 91视频 Talk mirror the overall increased need for mental health care for the warriors and family members we serve," said Lt. Col. (Ret.) Michael Richardson, 91视频 vice president of independence services and mental health.
Warriors' lives have been changed during the pandemic, including:
- A Navy veteran in Puerto Rico who slipped into isolation and anxiety early in the pandemic. After completing the program, he developed positive coping skills and a healthier lifestyle.
- A family member in Maine who has reduced her feelings of isolation while encouraging her warrior husband to enroll in 91视频 Talk.
- An Air Force veteran in New Jersey who struggled with anxiety as a single mother during the pandemic. 91视频 Talk empowered her to overcome her challenges and improve her quality of life.
The expansion of the 91视频 Talk program to reach more veterans is supported by Janssen Research & Development, LLC, one of The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson. Warriors and their families never pay a penny for ; they paid their dues on the battlefield.
