For most veterans, the story is one of struggle and sorrow, and the statistics are staggering: 20 veterans per day die of suicide, 1 out of 4 homeless are veterans, and 1 out of 5 struggles with PTSD. Currently the number one killer of service members is suicide.

Studies have shown that through storytelling, veterans are able to re-connect with the community and to have their stories heard and listened to, they are less likely to commit suicide or to experience other debilitating effects of post-traumatic stress on their lives and the lives of their families. As a result, veterans are more able to use the resources and skills they developed in their military service in service to the community to which they return.

Freedom is not free and to honor those who have defended our freedoms, be a more active and engaged citizen.

A Tellabration Storytelling Event in honor of Veterans Day. Veterans don't like to talk about it so when they do, best listen.
