I would love to be a mentor/comforter for someone that has come back from battle and is struggling. Anyone know of any programs I could plug myself into to help?
Call that help line and tell them you want to help. They’ll be happy to hear from you.
If you are anywhere near one of these clinics, they are doing an excellent job of helping veterans. My oldest daughter works for them and they are really reaching the veterans that need help. It is funded by a foundation, and is low or no cost to veterans- regardless of their discharge status. I cannot say enough good things about them.
If you are not near one of their clinics, it might be worth a call to them anyway, they might know how you can help in your area.
