Military members and veterans face higher risks for suicide and other mental health challenges, but often are reluctant to seek support. Resilience Grows Here (RGH), in rural Farmington Valley, Connecticut is working to change that as part of the Making Connections initiative. RGH is partnering with a local air base, veterans, and community organizations, from schools to funeral homes, to promote resilience and wellbeing for military members, veterans, and their families. In this recording from the APHA 2017 Annual Meeting, RGH Program Director Justine Ginsberg shares how community partners are working together to shift the status quo to address and prevent community trauma.
