Military

There is having a job, and then there is being a Soldier.

The average citizen has no clue what it means to be a soldier. Soldiers sacrifice their bodies, family time, and ability to make their own day-to-day decisions.

Being willing to sign up to serve your country is a truly selfless act – like a calling and commitment to something higher than yourself.

A soldier’s life can be a very amazing experience and gratifying.

But going to war and putting your life at risk 24/7 for an extended amount of time is the ultimate sacrifice to your mental health. And then losing a battle buddy can be the last straw.

Is Command supportive?

Duty First – Mission First – Family First. Which one is it?

Your Command says your mental health is important, but at the same time, you observe them expressing frustration toward soldiers that have DBH appointments and Profiles.

Is getting help worth the grief from your NCO?

Decisions are not easy to make.

What about your DBH services becoming part of your official military record?

Providers in the Department of Behavioral Health genuinely care and want to do what is right for the soldier. But there are some things they must report, diagnose, and document.

What if you aren’t looking for the label? What if you don’t want medication or a Profile that puts limitations on your career?

Your only goals are to work through the loss of your battle buddy and make the adjustment back home with your family.

You are looking for someone off-post.

You want someone who can track and understand military lingo and the bureaucracy.

My three years working for DOD in DBH equipped me to understand your work environment and how fragile your military career can be.

I even understand when you answer a question with “Purple.”
