TEAM RED WHITE & BLUE
The State of Veteran Health
When Service Members leave the military, they face challenges and often neglect their own well-being. That neglect creates obstacles in the areas of:
-
Physical health
-
Mental health
-
Meaningful relationships​
​​
These challenges are often preventable through an upstream, proactive approach.
-
Just 2.5 hours of movement each week is proven to lower the risk of depression.
-
Meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging reduce feelings of isolation.
-
Regular exercise is an undeniable force in improving Veterans overall health and wellness.

What Veterans Say About Team RWB
“With meeting Team Red, White & Blue, it has almost been like a new start for my life. I went from being depressed and anxious all the time and not doing anything and now I’ve got a group of people I can count on and that support me, and that I can support and help deal with the mental health and other struggles that we face as veterans.” - Brandon S., USAF ret.
