 BATTLE BUDDIES

NAMI Knoxville is now working to connect healthy veterans with service members, veterans and military families to help them deal with the trauma of military service as they start to come home.

We would like to do a “Battle Buddies” presentation that will raise awareness of mental illness for Veterans’ Service Organizations (VSO) and encourage them to continually reach out to veterans and their families, especially those serving in the present war.

Each VSO will address the unique needs of warriors in their community and partner with a local NAMI group for support.

Please contact NAMI Knoxville at 865-602-7807 to get involved in this program!
