Every day we hear about the lack of care and services available for Veterans. A huge majority of veterans return home with PTSD and struggle to find their way-often turning to drugs and alcohol as a way to escape their pain. Over 22% of the annual suicides in the U.S. are military Veterans. Whatever is being done to help them is simply not enough. Youturn Health is using peer support specialists to bridge the gap and help Veterans in every facet of their lives.
Zach Goff is the Director of Quality & Compliance at Youturn Health and a former veteran and Youturn Health Coach. He has lived experience and a passion for helping others. Having overcome an opioid addiction himself, he has made it his mission to create a force for change using Veterans who have overcome their struggles to be a part of his team.
Our Chief Clinical Officer, Rich Jones, and Zach sat down with Veterans Rob Reveles and Freddie McAbee. As they talk, we are able to pull back the curtain on what it is like to be a veteran today and how their experience is helping them form a bond with struggling veterans.
