Last Veteran’s Day, we shared a powerful conversation between VA-trained Alma Therapist Darin Witkovic and 40-year Retired Army Veteran York Kleinhandler Kleinhandler. York spoke candidly about the stigma that kept many of his fellow service members from seeking mental health support post-deployment, and the crucial role that trust plays in the therapeutic relationship. A year later, his words still resonate. This Veteran’s Day, we’re reminded that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to supporting those who have served, but trust is always the foundation of effective care. If you or someone you love is seeking support after deployment, visit the Alma directory to find the care you deserve.
