It's Veterans Day - how is New Hampshire doing when it comes to supporting our veterans?

Liz talks with President and CEO of Harbor Care, Henry Och, about initiatives to support veterans in New Hampshire, particularly when it comes to homelessness, health care, and employment. 

If you’re experiencing a mental health crisis or need support, call or text 988 for free, confidential, 24/7 help. Trained crisis counselors are available to listen, provide support, and connect you to resources. You can visit the hotline website at 988lifeline.org/chat.

You don't have to be enrolled in VA benefits or health care to connect: Veterans Crisis Line.
