I absolutely do, and I would never actually offer that kind of service, because notice that I said that ours are 10 days or residential; you really can't effect much change at all in such a brief meeting. People need support. One of the healthiest kinds of support we have is groups. Groups are the best place to get support from other people such as your peers. When soldiers are with other soldiers, and the soldiers have been somewhat trained, they respect and trust them totally. They go to them for support more than they go to us. I think that there are possibilities for developing groups that are sustained and ongoing that soldiers could go to.
At the beginning today, one of the people said that it's kind of like AA. AA is well known in our society. Who helps people with alcohol addictions? AA has been a very strong force. I'm not proposing that model. I'm proposing a model that joins the best expertise we see in VAC, the universities, and the medical clinics with the soldiers who are being trained so that they can offer something outside.
Why? Because if they don't get treatment, they avoid getting the services they're entitled to, and they won't even go near the VAC offices when they feel that way.
