Brandon's Story ~ A Preventable Tragedy

<p>Brandon&apos;s story is heartbreaking and a preventable tragedy that veterans face everyday. In this episode, Tyler is joined by Brandon&apos;s parents, Teri and Patrick Caserta, to talk about Brandon&apos;s story and The Brandon Act. <br/><br/>The Brandon Act is designed to protect service members who experience mental health emergencies and reduce the stigma around reporting. This bill will allow service members to seek mental health treatment, and require a mental health evaluation as soon as a service member self-reports. It will also allow Americans serving in uniform to seek help confidentially and, if necessary, outside of the chain of command.</p><p>If you wish to learn more about the The Brandon Act please visit <a href='https://www.thebrandonact.org/'>thebrandonact.org</a><br/><br/>Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming events by signing up for our newsletter at <a href='https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/P9QRg9T'>Coming Home Well Newsletter</a><br/><br/>Follow us on IG <a href='https://www.instagram.com/cominghomwell_bts/'>@cominghomwell_bts</a> and <a href='https://www.instagram.com/behindtheservice/'>@behindtheservice</a><br/>Facebook at Coming Home Well or Behind The Service<br/>LinkedIn at Coming Home Well<br/><br/>Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today&apos;s episode!
