Who is impacted?

Our veterans are facing significant challenges due to recent layoffs of recreational therapists, resulting from Executive Order 14210. These therapists play a vital role in helping veterans navigate the complexities of mental health, rehabilitation, and reintegration into civilian life.

What is at stake?

If these layoffs are not addressed, many veterans will lose access to essential services that support their well-being and recovery. This could lead to increased struggles with mental health issues and a higher risk of isolation and distress for those who have sacrificed so much for our country.

Why is now the time to act?

It is crucial to act now to protect our veterans and ensure they receive the care they deserve. By signing this petition, you stand with us in advocating for their needs and pushing for the reinstatement of recreational therapy services. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Thank you for your support!
