I served my time as a pipe fitter in the shipyard and I'm now in an office job and see for me, see that change from being on the tools where you can have a laugh with you and your unit.
Ever wondered what it's like to transition from military life to civilian life, especially when grappling with mental health challenges? In this episode of 'The Other Brother Podcast', Ross Clark sits down with Craig, a veteran who has turned his struggles into a mission to help others through his advocacy group, Hills & Minds.
Craig opens up about his time serving in Iraq, the difficulties he faced after returning home, and the birth of his initiative aimed at supporting those dealing with mental health issues and addiction. Craig's story is a powerful testament to the importance of communication and community. He emphasizes the need for veterans to 'unload' and talk about their experiences, breaking through the often stoic military culture that relies on dark humor.
Hills & Minds has become a beacon of hope for many, offering a safe space where both military personnel and civilians can find support and resources. Listeners will find Craig's insights on the benefits of group activities and exercise particularly compelling. These activities have been crucial in his own recovery journey, and he shares how they've helped others find a sense of belonging and purpose.
The episode also touches on the unique challenges veterans face in the workplace, navigating the civilian-military dynamic that can often feel like a minefield. Craig's final words of encouragement are a heartfelt call to anyone struggling with mental health or addiction: you're not alone, and there is always hope. Tune in to hear his inspiring journey and learn about the incredible work being done through Hills & Minds.
