Shining a Light on Wellness: Supporting Veterans During Seasonal Affective Disorder Month

Dear Patriot Connection Services Community,

As winter settles in and daylight fades, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can affect many individuals, including veterans and their families. This month, Patriot Connection Services (PCS) is proud to raise awareness about SAD while connecting veterans with resources that prioritize their mental well-being.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is more than just a seasonal slump—it’s a form of depression influenced by the changing seasons, which can impact mood, energy, and overall health. Veterans may face additional challenges in addressing these symptoms due to the complexities of their service-related experiences. That’s why PCS is here to help simplify access to vital resources and support.

Here’s how PCS can assist:

  • Streamlined Access to Benefits: We identify and catalog non-medical programs and services, including state-specific and national mental health resources, to address the unique needs of veterans.
  • Events and Collaboration: Through live and virtual events, PCS creates spaces where veterans can connect with peers and professionals for support and guidance.
  • Partner Networks: Our collaboration with local, state, and federal partners ensures veterans have access to comprehensive and reliable services.

Seasonal Affective Disorder Month reminds us of the importance of addressing mental health and the need to foster connections. If you or someone you know could benefit from resources or support, PCS is here to guide you toward the solutions you need.

Together, we can shine a light on mental wellness and help every veteran thrive, even during the darkest months of the year.

Warm regards,
Damon Haycock
President
Patriot Connection Services
