Did you know that 8% of Tennessee's population are veterans? That's around 440,000 people. Today, we express our deepest gratitude to our friends and neighbors for their defense of our great country. We also want to hold space for our veterans who have a high rate of suicide. Family & Children’s Service provides a variety of counseling services for individuals and families at no cost for a range of issues from depression, domestic violence, substance abuse, suicide prevention, and much more. If you are in crisis and need help, call 988, a suicide hotline available to you 24 hours a day. #nashville #tennessee #veterans #militaryfamilies #suicideprevention #mentalhealth #VeteransDay
