Veterans and first responders, after years of dedicated service, it’s essential to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. Embrace this time to reflect on your experiences, acknowledge your strengths, and address any lingering challenges. Healing is a journey that requires patience and self-compassion. Remember, taking a step back, breathing, and focusing on your needs is okay. Self-care is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. Don’t struggle alone—reach out for support from fellow veterans, first responders, and professional resources. Sharing your journey with others who understand can provide comfort and guidance. You can navigate your transition with strength and resilience by prioritizing your health and seeking connections. #transitiondrillpodcast #miliatry #veterans #militarytransition #army #navy #airforce #marines #coastguard #lawenforcement #firstresponders #firefighter #ems

“So why should we care?” “This sounds expensive.” “This isn’t for us.” Over the last three years advocating on Capitol Hill, we’ve had some terrible meetings. Not every meeting will be a success. We’ve left meetings and felt like we bombed it. Remember, it only takes one “yes” to start a movement. Nothing happens overnight. You may hear 1,000 “no’s” before the “yes”. Keep going. After each failed meeting, re-play the conversation and figure out where it went off track. Course correct and try again. Change is never easy. It takes sustained effort over time and people who never give up. #keepgoing #MAA #empowerment #autismacceptance #militaryspouse #missionready #MissionAlphaAdvocacy #army #navy #airforce #marines #coastguard #spaceforce

Check out my latest article discussing the programs available to vets with service-connected disabilities.
U.S Army Veteran and Adams and Reese attorney Lance Felicien continues our "Vets to Ventures" series with an article on the resources available to #entrepreneurs with service-connected #disabilities. A service-connected disability - defined by U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs - is an illness or injury caused by, or worsened, because of active military service. There are programs that support these vets as they return to the workforce. Lance provides resources from the #VA, U.S. Small Business Administration, Warrior Rising, Texas Veterans Commission, United States Department of Defense, among others.

Active Duty Military Members and Veterans: If someone told you that you could save over $100K on anything by not taking what was in right in front of you, would you think twice about taking it? VGLI will cost YOU the VETERAN $126K over the next 30 years for a $500K policy. A civilian policy for women age 40 for $500K over those 30 years will range from $13,801 - $25,260. Men age 40 for $500K for a private policy will range $17,366 - $33,000 over those 30 years! That means more than likely you will save over $100K by going with a private insurance company. Want to save some money, time and frustration - let's talk! You know me, schedule is in the comments! #airforce #army #coastguard #marines #navy #spaceforce #veterans #VGLI #lifeinsurance

This post is spot on for #EFMP and SNP families trying to access #ABA services. DoD needs to assess all quantitative and non-quantitative limitations that serve as barriers to accessing #healthcare and #mentalhealth. Portions of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) need to be enacted for #militaryfamilies to prevent some of the issues #military #specialneeds families have brought up about the Autism Care Demonstration. MHPAEA could also help with accessing clinical #behavioralhealth services to treat #anxiety and #depression before thoughts turn towards #suicide. Resource gaslighting is an issue we need to solve NOW to increase the #ArmedForces readiness, resilience, and retention as well as bolster #suicideprevention! #AirForce #Army #CoastGuard #MarineCorps #Navy #SpaceForce #militarychildren #militaryspouse #exceptionalneeds
Resource gaslighting is a real thing. Offering resources that are unattainable by the beneficiary due to requiring excessive paperwork, lack of providers delivering the services, unclear qualifying criteria, or unaffordable has been felt by military families. Difficulty obtaining services brings into question the ability as a caregiver to ensure their loved one has access to healthcare and a high quality of life. This ultimately results in a negative effect to the family’s Resilience, Readiness, and Retention while in military services. #MAA is committed to constant and continual discussion with legislators to ease restrictions and allow our military services to protect their individual families just as well as they protect our country. #specialneeds #TRICARE #EFMP #empowerment #missionready #MissionAlphaAdvocacy #military #army #navy #airforce #marines #coastguard #spaceforce

I often get asked why I continue to push the human performance optimization narrative for our military when they are “never going to listen or change.” 🥊 Truth: the military is a difficult market to influence….its akin to the slow turn of a ship. That will not deter my efforts. Why? It’s my passion So I educate, discuss the impacts, and engage in great debate about the value of what HPO brings to our service members. In my experience, it’s simply the lack of understanding around the “WIFM” that often pushes HPO down the priority list. But here’s the thing (insert red star cluster)…. If we don't start prioritizing a strong counter-offensive that considers #warfighter performance, we will be outpaced. Equipment and weapons are just objects without the warfighter. Our focus must remain on them. And it doesn’t stop there….. My passion is now pivoting to the #veteran space. I am excited to consult with organizations who support our veteran population to provide them the very best opportunity to heal, grow, and flourish. HPO does not end when service does. #humanperformance #military #marines #marinecorps #semperfi #semperfidelis #army #navy #airforce #coastguard #spaceforce #health #wellness #tacticalathlete #veterans

Life after service: Finding purpose beyond the uniform 🇺🇸 In this clip, we explore the often-overlooked struggle of veterans transitioning to civilian life. It's not just about finding a new job – it's about rediscovering acceptance and purpose after years of belonging to something greater than oneself. Many veterans face the challenge of redefining their identity and finding their place in society once they've hung up their uniform. This video sheds light on the importance of supporting our heroes as they navigate this journey. Share if you believe in standing by our veterans long after their service ends. #VeteranSupport #LifeAfterService #FindingPurpose #veterans #supportveterans # #supportveterans🇺🇸 #army #navy #marines #airforce

More of Shelly’s testimony!
Lack of access to quality applied behavior analysis (ABA) services affects the military's readiness, resilience, and retention. If service members are not able to access quality healthcare services for their families, they will leave the service. The Department of Defense cannot afford to lose these talents and skills due to poor healthcare policies. Listen as one mother shares the negative affects to our military when families are not able to access quality healthcare for their children. #militaryfamily #army #navy #airforce #PeopleFirst #missionalphaadvocacy #autism #MAA #coastguard #marines #tricare #spaceforce #ABA #autismacceptance #acd
