Testimonials

"Thank you for the support you give to our military families. It makes it easier to perform our duties in the military when we know that there are programs for our spouses and children."
Master Sgt. Michael Chann, Human Resources Command

"I've been following Military Pathways for over a year. I find the information and support essential in my therapy practice (even with non-military individuals and families) and in my own life as a retired US Navy Master Chief. The connection helps vets to feel both supported and connected."

"Military Pathways has been very supportive of the VA's efforts to engage veterans and their families in honest discussions about alcohol abuse issues. With their valuable support, we at Northport have been able to effectively reach and treat more veterans struggling with excessive alcohol use."
Jolienne Walters-Harvey, PMHNP-BC, a nurse practitioner at the mental health clinic at the Northport Veterans' Affairs Medical Center in Northport, New York.

“The program really does work, and a lot of people can be reached through the innovative programming at Military Pathways, especially the websites and posters.”
Olufemi Olatunji, RN-BC, and USAFR nurse

“We returned from a short underway period and our command was granted a 96-hour liberty. The packages (of Drinking IQ water bottles) were waiting on the pier with the rest of the ship's mail when we returned. We placed a mental health card in each water bottle and every sailor received one as he or she departed. It was a great and easy prevention avenue (and just in time) before a long weekend.”
Norma Braden, CTR1(SW)

“We typically see a 20% increase in calls after the 60-day events in which I bring the Military Pathways family resiliency materials. Spouses pick up most of the materials and say that they find them very helpful and educational.”

"The greatest strength about “A Different Kind of Courage” is that it effectively walks that fine line between normalizing common adjustment symptoms (I love the quote “normal reaction to abnormal events”) while also educating the soldiers (and family members) about warning signs of more problematic mental health issues.

I think that the array of soldier from all branches of the military do a wonderful job of telling their stories and helping to reduce the stigma related to seeking help. The vignettes about alcohol use and family issues are well done as well. I have had a wonderful response to using this video, or incorporating clips from it in my presentations.

It is so much more effective for soldiers to hear this information from other soldiers than from me." LeAnn Brucetion (DDR) Program Manager

"I was very impressed with how smoothly you were able to coordinate the event from faraway. Your professionalism helped make the NDSD event a success! Senior Leaders in the unit where we conducted the Safety Day National Depression Screening Day were very pleased with the outcome. You were able to answer Soldier and Family Members questions in a safe and confidential environment. " Yadira Velasco
Suicide Prevention Program Manager
Army Substance Abuse Program, Fort Bliss, TX

"I can't say enough positive things about Screening for Mental Health and the National Alcohol Screening Day program. As a result of your help and the event we held we had a marked increase both in self referrals and management referrals. We would welcome the opportunity to participate in this event again this year. We purchased two pop up tents specifically to use for this type activity. What a boon to our program and what a great way for people to self identify problem areas in their own lives."

"By inviting service members and their families to learn their drinking IQ, this initiative helps raise awareness about at-risk drinking and helps individuals assess whether their drinking could be causing a problem."
