The Kindbridge Research Institute announced on Monday the debut of Stigma Stand Down (SSD), an initiative in Colorado aimed at combating mental health and gambling-related issues faced by active duty service members, veterans and their families.
Kindbridge is offering resources to Colorado service members and veterans with gambling disorder, which is 3.5 times more prevalent in service members and veterans compared to civilians. According to Kindbridge, SSD provides resources to a Colorado market that is home to more than 60,000 active duty and reserve military personnel.
Kindbridge is launching SSD with the help of grants from FanDuel and the Colorado Division of Gaming.
“Stigma is a silent enemy that leaves our service members and veterans isolated, harming their families, units, and mission readiness,” said Kindbridge ..
