Serving in Silence The Health Impact of Don't Ask Don't Tell

In this episode, we explore the health implications of the controversial 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy, which forced LGBTQ+ service members to hide their identities for decades. We discuss how this policy contributed to mental health issues, substance abuse, and other health challenges among LGBTQ+ veterans. We also examine the ongoing struggle for recognition, support, and healthcare within the military system, even after the policy's repeal. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
