This is especially true during the holiday season, where those with SUD experience an increased presence of triggers. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)estimates that 40,056 veterans are homeless on any given night. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a recent Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) report states that about 70% of homeless veterans also experience a substance use disorder. SAMHSA developed a short blog post to get service providers to start thinking about how to manage the holiday season’s challenges, including triggers of trauma for homeless service providers and the people they serve. Organizations across the country such as Military Benefits have created resource pages designed to provide information on how to help veterans and their families during the holidays. Check out the ways to help a Veteran this season on militarybenefits.info. If you are still looking for educational resources addressing the behavioral health of service members, veterans, and their families throughout the year, check out SAMHSA's Service Members, Veterans, and their Families Technical Assistance (SMVF TA) Center.
