Golden Victor Awards
The Golden Victor Awards, hosted by actor and veteran advocate Ian Bohen of Yellowstone, are designed to honor excellence in mental health, wellness, and veteran support. This prestigious event recognizes the remarkable efforts of leaders and innovators who are making a lasting impact by addressing critical issues such as PTSD, suicide prevention, and overall mental health care for veterans, first responders, and their families.
The Golden Victor Awards serve as more than just a celebration—they provide a powerful platform to raise awareness of the mental health challenges faced by our nation's heroes. By bringing together key figures from across sectors, the event aims to break down stigmas surrounding mental health, promote open dialogue, and foster collaboration that will drive meaningful change. Through the collective efforts of those recognized, the Golden Victor Awards shine a light on the urgent need for better mental health care and support services, ensuring that veterans and first responders receive the care they deserve.
