Tim Chandler on Silent Watch: Shining a Light on Veteran Suicide
“I think we just need to continue to raise awareness that it exists, that we have an option in Ashland County through Silent Watch, and my hope would be that, again, this gets more and more commonplace and that more and more vets and first responders and, as you say, even the general public, folks that are struggling- will have access once the insurance companies and whatever they need to get this, you know, approved.”
