This conversation with USMC veteran and veteran advocate, Lee Wagner, covers a myriad of valuable topics around suicide prevention, wellness practices, and the importance of connecting and familiarity with culturally competent resources when working with veterans and military affiliated individuals. As veterans ourselves and having worked to serve this population in the non profit space, this became a refreshing conversation to encourage and remind those who are struggling that the journey does not end today and they are never alone.
