Arizona Faith Gathering
2023-02-08 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Phoenix)
Join us on Wednesday, February 8, 2023, from 10 – 11:30 a.m. for the first Arizona Faith Gathering of 2023.
The event will feature a panel of faith, mental health, and community leaders to engage in a discussion about faith and inclusivity. The panel will share thought on a variety of topics including:

How can we rally our community and support one another around faith and inclusivity?
Are faith and inclusivity both uniting and polarizing?
Are these terms mutually exclusive or can we come together to bridge the gap and have a greater collective impact on the Military and Veteran community?

Please join us for this virtual event that strongly encourages your contributions to the discussion. Share your insight and offer suggestions on ways community, spiritual, and faith leaders can foster faith and inclusivity. There is no cost and all are welcome to attend.

Veterans Day 2022
2022-11-11
Veterans Day began back in 1919 under President Woodrow Wilson. Veterans Day was originally named Armistice Day and was designated November 11 because of the significance of the end of World War I when the fighting stopped at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the month in 1918.
In 1954, Congress officially changed the name of the federal holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day as a way to recognize veterans who fought in all wars. Today we observe Veterans Day across America in a variety of ways. Many communities host parades in honor of veterans. Moments of silence, artwork, and even discounts are some additional ways that Americans pay tribute to all who have served in the nation’s military.
Since both observances honor the nation’s military members, some people confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day. Veterans Day is our opportunity to thank all service members and veterans for their service in the United States military, whether in peacetime, during conflicts, or wartime.
Memorial Day is a day set aside to recognize and remember the members of the United States military who lost their lives in service to our country, with a special emphasis on those who died in battle or as a result of injuries from a battle.
The Arizona Coalition for Military Families and the Be Connected team, many of whom are veterans themselves and members of military families, wish to extend our sincere appreciation for all who are serving, all who have served, and everyone in their families who make their decision to serve in the military possible by making sacrifices so we, as Americans, can benefit from their selfless service.

Air Force Birthday
2022-09-18
United States Air Force Birthday – September 18, 1947
This year marks the 74th year of celebrating the founding of the U.S. Air Force as a separate branch of the military. Before the creation of the U.S. Air Force, flying operations were handled by the U.S. Army over land and the U.S. Navy at sea. According to Vetaran.com, today the U.S. Air Force has more than 300,000 troops on active duty – with 20,000 of them serving as pilots. The combined strength of the U.S. Air Force (including Guard and Reserve) is more than 500,000 people strong.
Help recognize this important day in American history by looking up to the sky, thanking an Airman for their service, flying your American flag, or volunteering.

National Service Dog Month
2022-09-01 - 2022-09-30
September is National Service Dog Month
National Service Dog month is an opportunity to recognize the animals that have been specially trained to provide support for people in need who may be living with medical issues, impaired mobility, or addressing mental health needs. Although it has become popular for animals to offer emotional support, it is important to note that service animals are specially and professionally trained and are afforded special legal protections to be present with their human in places that typically would not allow animals or pets. National Service Dog month has been officially observed in Arizona by proclamation of the Governor and was first observed in 2008 through the efforts of actor Dick Van Patten.
Read this blog to learn how the Be Connected team worked to help service dogs belonging to veteran athletes and veterans experiencing homelessness.

Suicide Prevention Month
2022-09-01 - 2022-09-30
September is Suicide Prevention Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide is a public health issue and suicide prevention is a way to contribute to the overall health of our families, communities, and nation. We all have an essential role to play when it comes to suicide prevention.
The Be Connected support line is available to provide resource navigation and support at no cost to all Arizona service members (Active Duty, Guard & Reserves), veterans as well as their family members and caregivers. Be Connected’s support line services are offered at no cost and all calls are confidential. For crisis services, call 9-8-8 and press 1 or text to 838255.
Here are some constructive ways you can contribute to suicide prevention efforts and increase the health of the community:

Take in facts about suicide.

Veterans are at a higher risk for suicide.
Veterans have an adjusted suicide rate that is 52.3% greater than the non-veteran US adult population. Source: SAMHSA
People who have previously served in the military account for about 13.7% of suicides among adults in the United States. Source: VA
In 2019, 1.6% of former active-duty service members aged 18-25 years reported making a suicide attempt during the previous 12 months. This was an increase from 0.9% in 2009. Source: SAMHSA

Act with compassion. Seek to understand, and avoid making assumptions and judgments.
Learn to recognize concerning behaviors and signs of suicide.

Know what to do and how to seek assistance.

Call 9-1-1 if the situation is actively dangerous
Call 9-8-8 for crisis support 24/7

Start a conversation and stay calm if someone you know exhibits concerning signs.

Ask if the person is thinking about suicide.
Be there. Don’t leave the person alone.
Connect them to resources such as 9-8-8 or take them to the Emergency Room
