When we do, we just focus on the individual and not the family system as a whole, which I think could be very beneficial, absolutely.
How do you support veterans who feel like they're fighting a battle on the home front? This episode of 'Learn MORE with the CORE' dives into this pressing issue with outreach coordinator Joy Lowe. As an East Texas native, Longview ISD alumna, and United States Air Force veteran, Joy brings a wealth of personal experience and passion to the table. She introduces us to Community Healthcore's new suicide outreach program, designed to support veterans and their families.
The episode starts with eye-opening statistics on veteran suicide, underscoring the urgency of the program. Joy explains how many veterans are unaware of the resources available to them, and how this program aims to change that. It's not just about the individual; it's about the entire family system. The discussion also highlights the role of community health workers, temporary income support, and employment supplies in making a tangible difference.
One of the most moving parts of the episode is when Joy shares a success story of a veteran who had his first mental health appointment through the program. She emphasizes the importance of talking about trauma and committing to self-care, especially for those who listen to veterans' stories daily. Joy's love for her job and her dedication to helping veterans shine through every word.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how we can better support our veterans and their families. It’s informative, heartfelt, and truly inspiring.
