I’m a firm believer that a veteran has both the ability and the responsibility to make a difference in the world after their military service ends, just as they did during their military service. There are a lot of great opportunities to do so, and Justin Nassiri’s podcast, Beyond The Uniform, interviews veterans who are doing just that. Not only is Justin providing a space for veteran voices to be heard, he is a great example of how veterans can support other veterans.
I had the honor to be able to have a discussion with Justin about the unique challenges that veterans face in their post-military lives, especially regarding mental health. We also talk about my personal transition from an Army NCO to a Clinical Mental Health Counselor…as I’ve said before and will continue to say, a mentor once told me: “There are not enough combat veterans in the clinical mental health counseling field.” She was right then, and she’s right now.
