Thursday Nov. the 12th (all day 9-12 & 1-4) VETERANS & FAMILY HEALTH features a comprehensive presentation by the VA on the Mission Act that allows veterans to go to local medical service providers instead of travel to the nearest VA Hospital (West LA). Also featured will be the SLO Vet Center that services combat veterans and their families, medical service providers, AMSURF, SLO Veterans Outreach and much more.

We invite you to join us as we look at resources to sustain our veterans and their families physical, mental, and emotion health as well as suicide prevention. The greater Los Angles VA will be making a deep dive into The Mission Act that allows vets to be treated by local providers instead of making the long drive to west LA. And we will have a local provider presenting what they need from The Mission Act. We will be looking at all of the activities that help keep our vets and their families mental and physically healthy, activities such as surfing, horseback riding, zip lining, cooking, sculpting, painting, writing, movie nights, etc. The Collaborative has been working to build a network with the churches in the county to help inform our vets on their benefits and help with suicide prevention. We will discuss suicide prevention, this something that effects our veteran’s community in a disproportionate number.
