Addressing Suicide and Developing Resilience for Veterans Through Transcendental Meditation

Описание: Tragically in the time it takes to read this, another veteran will fall from the ranks. This national tragedy is compounded by the fact that such acts cause lifelong harm to family members and co-workers—and directly challenge the military’s ethos: “No one left behind.” Clearly these patriots who choose to release their pain through suicide rather than confront it have been “left behind.” And despite the best efforts of the Veterans Administration, including untold billions of dollars allocated to the treatment of PTS and the reduction of suicide ideation, the number of veterans taking their own lives continues to grow.

For more than 20 years, the David Lynch Foundation has successfully delivered an evidence-based, trauma-healing meditation technique to more than one million underserved children, veterans with PTS, and women survivors of violence and assault. Extensive research, including randomized controlled trials, has documented the benefits of the Transcendental Meditation technique for reducing symptoms of PTS and suicidal ideation, as well as decreasing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and heart disease; improving brain and cognitive functioning; and raising performance.

DLF will focus its considerable expertise, energy, and resources on addressing the terrible problem of high suicide rates among veterans through 21 TO NONE.® The goal of this national initiative will be to provide every veteran and family member with the opportunity to learn the trauma-healing Transcendental Meditation technique, at no cost, to heal trauma, prevent suicides and raise performance.

Veteran suicides must be stopped. Lives must be saved. Families must be made whole. Here is a practical, scalable, evidence-based medical intervention that should be made available immediately to every veteran and family member.

The time to act is now.

Please support 21 to NONE.
