“When it comes to the mental wellness framework - we’ve lived it. When you think about veterans going to their peer support groups, we’ve done the same thing here. It’s helped us and it can help you.” - Shirley Stanton, 2019 Dole Fellow #EDFVAConvening2023

You know, I miss my @Mets buddies when they’re on the road... but this weekend I met some really Amazin’ human beings!! They all served our country in the military and are now looking to start their new careers back home! 🐾
