Post-duty service members may struggle transitioning back to civilian life, coping with traumatic experiences, and getting past the stigma associated with disclosing the need for mental health support. Join US Coast Guard Veteran, Christopher Capitano, and US Army Veteran, Nikki Weigand, to discuss some of the primary mental health concerns one may experience as a current or prior service member and local resources to help both the service member and their support system.
