At Técnico, we're joining millions worldwide in shining a light on mental health, breaking down barriers, and fostering understanding and support. May is Mental Health Awareness Month - during this month, we honor the courage and resilience of those living with mental health conditions. We extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated mental health professionals and unwavering loved ones who support them on their journey. Mental health care is health care, plain and simple. Every person deserves access to the care they need to thrive. It's about dignity. It's about ensuring that no one suffers in silence or isolation. Despite progress, significant challenges remain. In 2020, less than half of all adults with a mental illness received the care they deserved. For children, the statistics are even more concerning — nearly 70 percent who need mental health care cannot access it. This Mental Health Awareness Month, let's stand together as advocates for change. Let's amplify our voices, raise awareness, and foster a community of support and understanding. Together, we can make a difference. If you or someone you know is struggling, know that help is available. You are not alone. 📞 Call or text 988 💬 Chat: 988lifeline.org 🔗 Find Support: FindSupport.gov 🧠 (Mental Health America) Mental Health Screening: https://shorturl.at/fsAT9 🧠 (National Institute of Mental Health) Help for Mental Illness: https://lnkd.in/d2GP5-BF Join us as we strive for a world where mental health care is accessible to all.

Since 2014, the Navy’s fleet based in Hampton Roads has decreased from 48 to 28 vessels, resulting in a 30% cut to our Virginia-based ship repair workforce. It is essential that our Navy ships are repaired here at home as much as possible to ensure our local ship repair industry is successful and ready for any mission! #ShipRepair #VA02 #118Congress

Counting the Cost: How Funding Delays Impact the Defense Industrial Base The military and the industrial base are mutually dependent – they rely on each other. Without the demand from warfighters and the funding from taxpayer dollars, the U.S. defense industry wouldn’t exist. Likewise, with the industry providing essential capabilities to safeguard America, the country itself would be at risk. Delays in funding – lack of stable, predictable, timely funding is devastating to the health of longstanding partners in the defense industrial base like our local shipyards and suppliers – who are critical to and dependent upon the mission of national security. Since 2010, we’ve lost nearly five years in total to continuing resolutions – stopgap measures that are really half-measures inhibiting starting new programs, compressing time to do acquisition work for awarding contracts, and robbing critical momentum forcing stand still while our adversaries move to modernize their militaries and work to outpace us. The FY’24 Defense Appropriations Bill passed Congress in the latter part of March and included $33 billion for new shipbuilding where our local ship repair industry will benefit. But, the delay had already been devastating - it was five and half months late, and required four continuing resolutions, freezing spending at the prior year's levels. No amount of money can buy that time back. It’s impossible to compete, and outcompete our adversaries with one hand tied behind our back three, four, five, or six months of every fiscal year. It is critically important that the budget is passed on time, and last week some of our local members of congress emphasized exactly that at the Navy League of the United States, Hampton Roads Congressional Roundtable Luncheon. It was an honor to hear from Rep. Rob Wittman (VA-01), Rep. Jen Kiggans (VA-02), Rep. Bobby Scott (VA-03), and Rep. Jennifer McClellan (VA-04) as they shared insights crucial to our industry's future. Check out the related 13newsnow piece where, Técnico President & CEO, Ray Wittersheim emphasized the impact that delay had for the local shipyards and their suppliers - "That means there's no new work, there's no new availabilities. The money is the money. That impacts what we're trying to do." Article: https://shorturl.at/avST3 One Team. Better Every Day.
