Veterans Day with Colonel Angela Reber

This Friday, November 11th is Veterans Day in the United States. This national holiday honors those who have served in our country's armed forces, and was originally recognized in 1918 to mark the armistice that ended World War I. This year, we have Colonel Angela Reber joining us to discuss ways that organizations can support veterans who are transitioning into the civilian workforce, or who are currently part of the workforce. This episode also discusses the topic of suicide prevention and awareness and may be upsetting for some listeners. If you, or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out for help. There is a new textable number available for support: "Today, “988” is the three-digit, nationwide phone number to connect directly to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. By calling or texting 988, you’ll connect with mental health professionals with the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Veterans can press “1” after dialing 988 to connect directly to the Veterans Crisis Lifeline which serves our nation’s Veterans, service members, National Guard and Reserve members, and those who support them. For texts, Veterans should continue to text the Veterans Crisis Lifeline short code: 838255." Lastly, the views expressed in this episode are those of, the host, Erica D'Eramo, and our guest, Colonel Angela Reber, and they do not necessarily represent the official policy of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense or the US Government.
