Veterans are trained to put the mission first. At home, that mission becomes family and career, but too often they leave themselves off the roster. It's important that self-care be part of that mission.
Ahead of Veterans Day, Doug Weaver, Sweetser’s Adult Residential Clinical Read moreDirector and an eight-year Army Veteran who served in Iraq, visited WMTW Channel 8 to talk about Veterans’ mental health.
Drawing on his military experience and work supporting others, Doug shared these important reminders:
🇺🇸 Make yourself part of the mission. Caring for your family, career, and community matters—and so does caring for your own mental health.
🇺🇸 Reaching out takes courage. Letting someone know you’re struggling and accepting support is a sign of strength, not a weakness.
🇺🇸 Check in with a buddy. Send a text. Make a call. You don’t need perfect words or all the answers to help someone feel less alone.
🇺🇸 Stay connected to support. Talk with someone you trust or explore resources through the VA, Vet Centers, or community providers like Sweetser.
Thank you, Doug, for your service and for helping fellow Veterans know they don’t have to face their challenges alone.
