Military veterans now have a dedicated event space in Mesa where they can find resources to help them heal or transition back to civilian life.
The Azura Veterans Coalition, formerly Mesa Veterans Resource Center, last week opened the Wellness Lounge and Venue at 165 N. Centennial Way, Suite 101/110 and will be open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday to provide veterans what a spokesman called “a supportive environment.”
“This is a space for veterans who just need somewhere to talk and come back to the breath,” said Nicole Pogue, coalition executive director and third-generation Navy veteran.
“The Wellness Lounge is going to utilize support, education and opportunities from Azura and other veteran-oriented organizations to make that mental health connection to help all veterans recalibrate and rise no matter where they are on their path.”
