In this episode, we have the privilege of hosting a distinguished guest, an Air Force veteran, Ret. CMSgt Dave Nordel, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the podcast to talk about his transition and moral injury.
One of the most profound topics we delve into is the concept of moral injury. Our guest sheds light on what moral injury is, how to recognize it, and the importance of addressing this often-hidden aspect of veterans' mental and emotional well-being. Among the powerful stories our guest shares is the "Clear the Beds" story that you don't want to miss!
Dave is also helping companies and organizations work better with veteran employees by training them on how to interact and support veterans in the workforce. The VET Ready program is a valuable resource for companies looking to enhance their skills and readiness for providing veterans great employment options. We learn about the program's offerings and how it plays a crucial role in supporting veterans' independence and life after service.
