Look to your community first

because then sometimes once
you get that process rolling,

you're going to be more
open to go to the VA

and talk to someone there that
can provide more assistance,

more help, whether it's
medication, whether it's therapy,

counseling, whatever it is that you need.

That's one of the things I found,

that there's a lot of resources
I didn't realize was there.

And it took taking those steps.

But I turned to my community
first and then moved outward

and then eventually ended up
in the VA to talk with them.

And that's been helpful as well.
