Everyone is happy when a member of our armed forces returns home after a deployment. Often when the excitement wears off, stress and post-traumatic stress take its place. Sometimes, people turn to drugs in an attempt to relieve their pain. Some even resort to violence. As veterans return to their everyday lives, the stigma of seeking help sometimes keeps people from reaching out. Communities need to learn how best to help veterans deal with what they went through. Some military programs can help, but our vets need more. During this hour-long CADCA-TV broadcast, see how the military is working with coalitions in some military communities. Learn how other communities can use what works, even if there is no military installation nearby.
