Veterans are our heroes; our protectors; our fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. And despite the enormous role they play in guaranteeing our collective freedoms, far too many slip through the cracks as they depart the Department of Defense and transition into the Veterans Administration.
This is unacceptable, and we owe it to our veterans to find solutions to address this injustice.
Our search for answers begins with data, which indicate that even if veterans do successfully navigate the transition to post-service care, many still fail to connect to the mental health care system either upon initial transition, or later in their civilian life.
In observation of Veterans Day, our Vice President, Col. Mike Hudson spoke with Rich Valdes on The Jim Bohannon Show about our mission of helping reduce veteran suicide by way of empowering organizations to connect individuals with personalized support during times of need.
