Good morning everyone and Happy Friday!
YAY FRIDAY!
If you follow my blog on a fairly regular basis (nobody does that who am I kidding) you will know that I am a proud supporter of Red Friday.
As a friend of a veteran, I know that a lot of soldier suffer from serious self esteem crashes when they come back from their service. Sometimes troops feel worthless, and some commit suicide as a result.
I really wish there was a program to help with soldiers' self esteem. Could such a program exist?
I did some research, and some counseling groups exist for soldiers. Is it enough? I don't have the answers, I don't know what the right answer is. It's just frustrating to me and I wish there was something I could do to help.
The Center for Veterans Issues is an American group that offers programs and counseling for soldiers that need help returning to their civilian life. This is brilliant, and I need to find out if similar programs are available in Canada.
If you know of any such programs or have any questions/comments on the matter, please feel free to comment on this post below. I want to improve the lives of our soldiers and veterans and any suggestions on how to do that are greatly appreciated.
