Today is Veteran’s Day, and I’m extremely proud to announce that today we launched our new “Healthy veterans, happy families.” campaign to raise funds for Give an Hour.  Give an Hour is an amazing non-profit organization which asks mental health professionals to literally donate one hour of their time to veterans and their families.  Many times, parents, siblings, and loved ones do not qualify for the same kind of support services offered to veterans by the government, but their needs are just as important.  We’re donating ten percent of every app sold in the month of November.  If you’re interested in learning more, click the banner above or go here.

When our servicemen and women return home, it may seem like the war is over for them, at least for now (over a quarter of our military personnel have been deployed more than once).  Yet many of our veterans bear wounds which cannot be seen by the naked eye.  They manifest in the form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety and panic attacks, anger, apathy, and more.  Moreover, it’s not just the veterans themselves which suffer from deployment–their families, friends, and loved ones all suffer in turn.  This is why it’s so important to recognize (article via the Deseret News) the incredible burden which our servicemembers, their families, and communities must bear.
