Each day in America, 22 US Veterans lose their life to suicide.
Starting on Veteran’s Day, join us in the Remember the 22 Campaign by doing 22 push-ups for 22 days to support and raise awareness for Veteran’s Suicide Prevention and Mental Well-Being.
When Atlantic Packaging posted our “1 out of 8” Message on Social Media last September, a veteran by the name of Joe Chiarella was so moved by our message that he felt compelled to reached out and share his story. He is a veteran, and he had recently lost his wife to suicide, she was also a veteran. He wanted to work with us to continue to raise awareness about suicide prevention and mental well-being. And so, the 22×22 Campaign was created! Watch the video below to meet Joe and to hear why this campaign is so important.
The campaign last year brought together multiple companies all challenging themselves to 22 push-ups a day for 22 days.

We encourage you this year to do your 22 push-ups and use that time to remember those lost to suicide and those who may be suffering with their mental and emotional health. Share your pictures and videos on social media and/or on the Atlantic Wellness Webex Chat Group. #22toRemember #Rememberthe22
