The statistics say that 22 Veterans take their life every day. Most of the time it does not sink in until it happens to someone you know. ​As a Disabled Veteran Outreach Program specialist, I was working with an Army Veteran that was in the VRAP program. Once we ​were done with the session, I told the Veteran that I needed to help the next Veteran “Get them in Get them out”. He stood there ​with a lost look on his face. I still remember the clothes he was wearing. As a NCO in the US Military, I failed that soldier. I never ​picked up on the sign. Tragically, the Veteran took his life three days later. I asked myself what can be done, how this can be stopped. ​I wanted to provide a place where a Veteran can go and get help if he\she wants it. After years of doors being closed on me, I found an ​open door. The Veteran’s Landing came to life. The Veteran’s Landing is a place for a Veteran to be able to connect. They may just ​need to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and talk to fellow veterans or they may need help with a benefit question, employment needs, ​housing, and food. According to the 2016 statistics, Kay County is the home to 4,326 Veterans, representing roughly 9.5% of the total ​population of Kay County which is 45,478. Veteran’s Landing is here to meet Veterans “where they are,” and to help with the ​transition to family and community life. We are Ponca City’s only peer run drop-in center, and we provide a family friendly, alcohol-​free and drug free environment. The goal of the Veteran’s Landing is to provide a broad range of counseling, outreach, referral ​services to eligible Veterans and their families in order to help them make a satisfying post-war re-adjustment to civilian life. The ​family members of all Veterans are eligible for Veteran’s Landing services as well.
