Our first task is to really underscore just how important the person is to the veteran in their lives.
Imagine dedicating years of your life to serving your country, only to face an uphill battle when you return home. Veterans often grapple with mental health issues as they transition back to civilian life, and their families feel the strain too. In this heartfelt episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon sit down with Dr.
Steven Sayers, an associate professor of psychology in psychiatry at the Veteran's Administration Medical Center and the University of Pennsylvania. They dive deep into the mental health challenges veterans face and the pivotal role family members play in their recovery journey. Dr. Sayers sheds light on the Coaching in Care program, a resource designed to help families support their loved ones in seeking mental health treatment.
He discusses the importance of open conversations about PTSD and other mental health issues, emphasizing that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone connected to a veteran or interested in understanding the unique mental health challenges faced by those who have served. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, Jacqueline, Kibby, and Dr. Sayers offer practical advice and hope.
They cover the availability of counseling services, how to find mental health resources, and the vital support networks that can make all the difference. If you’re looking for a compassionate and informative discussion on veteran mental health, this episode is for you.
