Supporting Veteran Mental Health and Why Identity Matters | Sean Douglas | TEDxLSSU
We always hear about how 22 veterans a day take their lives, but no one has been able to nail down the exact reasons or the path chosen for suicide to be an option. The reasons vary, the circumstances vary. As a Retired Non-Commissioned Officer of the U.S. Air Force, I can tell you firsthand how I lost my identity, and furthermore, knew it would happen. My talk will address how the military community, retired and currently serving, face an identity crisis as we exit our careers. Sean Douglas is a U.S. Air Force Veteran Retired, John Maxwell Speaker, TEDx Speaker, Top 3% Podcaster, Bestselling Author, and a Business Positioning Strategist. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

You're amazing Sean Douglas! Thanks for doing this talk and thanks for all that you do!
This means a lot to me. Much respect!
This was incredibly moving.

The soldier falling into the hole … That spoke more than any other talks I've ever heard. Thank you
Thank you brother! I needed to hear this!

This dude is a joke
I searched “soldier Ted talk” and this was about 30 videos down on this list. It was the video that was closest to today’s date that I found.
Keep inspiring Sean!

Well said Brother! Miss your face. 😊
Don't support veterans with mental health problems. These veterans are horrible people and they made their own choices and now they have to live with the consequences.
What about the veitnam era veterans. We didn't have that kind of information back then
