The 2023 Veterans Day weekend in Georgia began with an event in Atlanta meant to aid veterans with their mental health. The Atlanta Black Chambers‘ Veteran Entrepreneurs Group hosted its Mental Health is Wealth Conference.

Veterans took part in inspirational and interactive discussions to enhance their mental well-being. The Fulton County Behavioral Health Mobile Unit was also on hand to provide on-the-spot mental health counseling.

“We understand that this is not only vital for our veterans, but also their families, their friends,” said Nkosi Leary, the chairperson of the Veteran Entrepreneurs Group. “The support networks surrounding our veterans play a crucial role in their well-being.”
