May is Mental Health Month, and we've been talking a lot about how mental illness can affect people of all ages.

The department of Veterans Affairs is also trying to address mental issues that can appear in our nation's heroes.

Dr. Wendy Tenhula is the V.A. National Mental Health Director. She says the program, Make the Connection is the V.A.'s national mental health public outreach campaign.

On the Make the Connection website, veterans and their family members can view videos from hundreds of other vets and service members and families who shared their stories of difficulties they have faced and steps that they've taken to make their lives happier and healthier.

Also on the website, vets can use the resource locater tool to find metal health resources in their local area.
