Is the #1 veteran issue Mental Health or Money? America’s Warrior Partnership can help with it all

from Eye on Veterans · host CBS News

There is a tremendous focus on mental health in America today.  But what are the real sources of pain for many vets? Making enough money to pay the bills. Air Force veteran and America’s Warrior Partnership (AWP), President, Jim Lorraine shows how this issue is the driving force behind anxiety, depression and even the suicide epidemic.However, help is available.  We look at how AWP helps vets with emergency finances through local resources.  And ways veterans can connect with AWP partners who are actively training/hiring veterans for great careers right now. Lorraine also shares why vets often choose college degree programs over apprenticeships, even though skilled trade jobs are in high demand and often pay more. The cycle of financial hardship leading to mental health issues is real, but AWP offers a way to break this trend.For more info check out:www.americaswarriorpartnership.orgTo reach CBS Eye on Veterans Host, Phil Briggs: [email protected] on Twitter:@philbriggsVet  @eyeonveterans
