450+ Episodes and counting

This week, join me as we sit down with Rae O’Donnell and Jeffrey Riley from the Veterans Resource Alliance to discuss a critical mission: supporting our veterans in New Hampshire.

We dive deep into the challenges many veterans face when returning home, from mental health struggles and housing insecurity to the frustrating maze of fragmented support systems. Rae and Jeffrey share their personal experiences and discuss how a local tragedy sparked the creation of VetFest NH, a powerful initiative designed to unite veteran-focused organizations and provide comprehensive assistance. Learn how this collaborative approach aims to break down silos, improve transparency, and ultimately prevent veteran suicide. We explore the importance of community-based solutions, the power of family involvement, and the inspiring dedication of individuals making a real difference in the lives of veterans right here in New Hampshire. Tune in to discover how you can get involved and help build a stronger, more supportive community for those who served.

Thank you, Rae and Jeffrey, for talking with me.
