Wreaths Across America Radio is holding the second in its series of four roundtable discussions focused on Veteran Healing through sharing stories of resilience, purpose and success. This live discussion will take place on Thursday, June 24, at 7 p.m. and can be heard exclusively on Wreaths Across America Radio.
The discussion will focus on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (note, June 27 is National PTSD Awareness Day) and will look to recognize the scope of this trauma and how to turn it into purpose.
Moderators of this event are Karen Worcester, Wreaths Across America’s Executive Director, and Joe Reagan, WAA Director of Military & Veteran Outreach/United States Army Capt. (ret). Guest panelists will be Gold Star Wife Amy Looney, Vice President of Travis Manion Foundation; Marine Corps veteran Josh Jabin, Chief Operating Officer of Travis Manion Foundation; and Dr. Nicholas (Nick) Polizzi, licensed clinical psychologist.
“A veteran myself, I know that there is healing in hearing stories from other veterans and learning different approaches to care,” Reagan said. “Our hope is that this discussion will help break down some of the stigma surrounding PTSD and provide an opportunity to share stories of resiliency and purpose.”
The goal of the Wreaths Across America Radio roundtable series on Veteran Healing is to help reduce barriers for veterans by:
•Supporting generational bonds between service veterans through stories of service and success;
•Destigmatizing issues faced by veterans and asking for help;
•Combating inaccurate perceptions of veterans by discussing the diverse experiences, challenges, and success of service members, veterans, and their families; and
•Connecting veterans with valuable resources.
Wreaths Across America Radio’s 24/7 stream can be heard at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/radio, and via the iHeart Radio app, or download it at the App Store or on Google.
This is the second broadcast in this series, with subsequent broadcasts planned for Thursdays, September 23 and December 23, 2021. All panel discussions will be held live, exclusively on Wreaths Across America Radio.
