Don't give up. Don't give up on them. I needed one person to say, hey, we have you. So letting people know about your show, what I'm doing over here with Helping Veterans, and my book that I wrote along with speaking and stuff, it's just getting that message out there that they're never alone.
Imagine facing the horrors of war, only to return home and find yourself in another battle—this time with PTSD and addiction. That's the reality Jason Howe, a combat veteran of the U.S. Navy, faced. In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance sits down with Jason Howe, the Director of K9s on the Front Line, to share his powerful story of struggle and redemption.
After long deployments and a difficult reintegration process, Jason turned to drugs to cope with his PTSD. But his journey didn't end there. He found a path to recovery and purpose through training service dogs for veterans, an endeavor that not only saved his life but also continues to help countless others.
As the author of the best-selling book 'Unleashed: The Powerfully Simple Path to Adapt and Overcome Trauma, Addiction, and the Silent Battle with Mental Illness', Jason offers a firsthand account of adapting to life's toughest challenges. This conversation dives deep into how service dogs can be a lifeline for veterans dealing with PTSD and TBI, offering them companionship and a renewed sense of purpose.
They also tackle questions like the impact of long deployments on mental health, the importance of family support, and ways to better assist veterans in need. Plus, you'll get to hear some fun, random questions that reveal more about Jason's personality. Tune in for an inspiring story of resilience and hope that underscores the transformative power of service animals.
