Today, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who have served our country. At Merit Resources, we recognize that for many veterans, the battle doesn’t always end when service does.

💙 Challenges like PTSD, depression, and substance use are real, and no one should have to face them alone. Merit Resources provides compassionate, evidence-based care designed to help veterans and their families find healing, strength, and hope.

This Veterans Day, take a moment to reach out—to a friend, a family member, or to a support resource. Healing begins with connection.

📲 Contact Merit Resources today to learn more about our treatment and counseling options for veterans.

The first Wednesday in November is sometimes marked as International Stress Awareness Day.

Today, we want to discuss stress as a trigger for relapse. All too often, simple stressors can lead to major mistakes. For those in recovery, we encourage you to explore alternative coping methods like:

✔︎ Square/Deep breathing
✔︎ Moving/Exercise
✔︎ Engaging in hobbies
✔︎ Spending time in community
✔︎ Yoga/Meditation

If you're seeking more hands-on support or resource guidance, we are here to help. Call 509-837-7700 or visit https://www.meritresources.org/contact-us/

With the holidays around the corner, be sure to check up on the men in your life, and if you know one who is struggling, connect with us at https://www.meritresources.org/ for support.
