Mental Health Awareness and Your Family

Mental Health Awareness and Your Family

How does mental health awareness and your spouse, or family fit into your larger picture today?

The Center for Disease Control states 31% of all adults today suffer from some form of anxiety or depression.  That’s 31% of your family, the neighbors that live around you and more importantly maybe, 31% of your organization.

As many as 26% of people today are suffering from some form of trauma or stressor related symptoms and disorders. Equally difficult to understand is 11% of adults have considered suicide as an option to their problems.  Why does this matter to you and your leadership team?

As a Navy veteran, a career cop and one that has dealt with these issues, I assure you mental health awareness matters.  Families and organizations that embrace and understand how mental health impacts each other, will live longer, happier lives together.  Families and organizations that show through empathy and understanding of mental health issues will build stronger, more resilient partnerships and teams.

Matthew is on a mission to help his fellow veterans, law enforcement officers, first responders and families interested in tackling these difficult and uncomfortable discussions. At Tactical Retreat Unplugged, Matthew has put together a creative program to allow trauma survivors a place to unplug, retreat, regroup and reengage.   Spending quality, guided time with your partner opens up so many doors to success.   Come see for yourself.
