I'd just like to start off by saying that somebody brought up a question around whether people are prepared when they get out of the military. I think this is what it is: they're not prepared to not be supported. As Mr. Blais said, “proactive” seems to be the keyword that is working very well today.
When you're in the military, they call you all the time. They come and see you. There's a padre there. It's proactive. People in leadership are coming out to see you to see if you're okay. It's a great way to continue that. However, when you get out, there's nobody proactively helping you. It's difficult. You're not prepared for that non-support.
So veterans helping veterans, it works. It's what veterans are actually seeking on their own. It seems to be one approach to look into.
Thank you.
