Event Details
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports that veterans are more likely to develop migraine and headache diseases. Many researchers believe this occurs as a result of their service in the military. According to a 2021 study from Yale University and the Veterans Health Administration, 35% of veterans have migraine or chronic headache. A significant portion of those also have traumatic brain injuries. We are committed to advocating for the veterans who have served us.

We call on all people living with headache diseases to join us in fighting systemic racism and unconscious biases to eliminate health disparities. African Americans bear the brunt of existing healthcare challenges, especially when related to headache diseases. We seek to advance this conversation on Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”), a holiday that commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States. CHAMP is gathering resources for the black community in hopes that it helps on your headache journey.
