(Ted Ehlen, WRN) Governor Tony Evers was at a Thursday night event spotlighting veterans’ mental health issues.

The gathering at the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center announced the distribution of $650,000 in grants from the American Rescue Plan Act to 16 different organizations.

The grants for the groups provide mental healthcare services ranging from psychiatry to horse therapy, and are a part of the governor’s $10 million investment in veterans’ programs across Wisconsin.

Veterans are more susceptible to such ailments as suicidal ideation, PTSD, and depression than the general public is.
