Everyday Grateful with Yiema John

This is not our usual content, but there are people in our communities hurting right now because of the situation in Afghanistan. This episode is my hope and prayer for peace and understanding for our veterans, their loved ones, and our Gold Star families, as well as how we as civilians can hold space for them at this time. It's also worth noting that Afghanistan war veterans and those who served after 9/11 have a greater risk of suicide than veterans from decades before. If you or a service member/ veterans are in crisis or thinking about please call the Military Crisis Line/ Veterans Crisis Line to get confidential support 24/7/365. You can call 1-800-273-8255 and press 1, text 838255 or chat online at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat.
