This survey was for military (active, guard, reserve), a military family member, a Veteran, a family member of a Veteran, a caregiver of a Veteran, or an employee of a military/Veteran service organization that serves Veterans and/or their families. Their responses will help shape policy and determine the application of resources for future Veterans’ programs. The survey was about 10 minutes long and was anonymous. The first-of-its-kind survey conducted here, will "best identify what our veterans need and help us create a plan to address it," Mayor Lenny Curry said.
The Northeast Florida military community reported many unaddressed needs, with dental, vision and other medical services and Veterans Affairs claims support leading the way. Veterans and their families also reported trouble finding resources to meet those needs. About 15% of veterans reporting a diagnosis of depression or anxiety were not receiving assistance, while about 26% of those reporting a post-traumatic disorder diagnosis were not receiving assistance. "Health and wellness were the most important," said Jeffry Will, director of the University of North Florida Center for Community Initiatives, which analyzed the survey results. "Are they getting help? Not so much … We've got a significant gap."
