We Care About Veteran Lives
Stop by our suicide prevention resource center in Albuquerque, NM
At Veterans Woodworking Workshop, we care about the lives of veterans, and we make sure they feel like they have a community in Albuquerque, NM. Our woodworking workshop acts as a suicide prevention resource center and aims to provide resources and an outlet for veterans who may be struggling.
We partner with Dovetail Community Workshop in provided our Veterans Day in the Shop, when it's only veterans to meet and work on a community project. Veteran suicide rates aren't often talked about, which is why we aim to shed a light on veteran suicide prevention in the area and nationwide.
Dovetail Community workshop is open Tuesday thru Saturday for members, and veterans are given a discount on membership where they can work on their own projects.
Why our cause is important
Veteran suicide prevention isn't highlighted in everyday media. But our suicide prevention resource center aims to spread knowledge and awareness. Our cause is important because:
- 22 veterans a day commit suicide across the country
- 22% of veterans are diagnosed with depression
- Over 48,000 veterans are homeless or at risk
If you're a veteran looking for a sense of community, come by our woodworking workshop in Albuquerque, NM.
We host a Veterans Day in the Dovetail Community Workshop each month just for Veterans. It is the Third Sunday of each month while the shop is closed to customers. The shop time is 1pm to 4pm and we all collectively work on a special project to benefit our veteran community.
