MindSet with Tom McNulty, M.S. - Behavioral Health, Neurology & Medical Integration
I'm a former health talk radio host (18+ years) and I want to create a behavioral health focus for my podcast. My shows may be 10-12 minutes up to about 30-45 minutes - depending on the topic and if I bring a guest in via online connections. The content will be clinically sound material, opinion, and topical headline issues (trauma, school shootings, workplace depression, bullying, parenting, etc). I have 45+ years in behavioral health. I'm the co-creator, and co-writer of Episodes-The Movie and The Episodes Project, including Spotlight on the Community. I'm a public speaker and I've written a column on Behavioral Health in the Workplace for City Journals' Business First for 10 years. Please tune-in! Thank you very much!

MindSet with Tom McNulty: Veteran Challenges We Don't Understand-Time To Learn. Chris Kreiger, President, WNY Heroes
A veteran once asked me, "So, you think you know me?" After 10 seconds, I realized I was full of misconceptions, 'bad intel", and unrealistic expectations. I took the time to listen and better understand and it opened up my eyes to the often insurmountable challenges returning veterans face. I learned that when a military person serves, the whole family serves and is full of emotions. It seems each war has its own inhumanity, psychological turmoil, survivor guilt, fear of failure, and major adjustments for its service men and women. While Vietnam veterans probably had it the worst, each generation of military face enemies that can't see, they can't define them because of no official uniforms, or they use children to carry bombs to kill Americans.
The suicide rate for Iraq/Afghanistan veterans is the highest of any American military war or conflict. Why?
Didn't the Commander's debrief with the troops prepare them for returning home? "What debrief?" a soldier once said back to me. This podcast's guest is Army Reserve Veteran, Chris Kreiger, Founder, President/CEO of WNY Heroes, Inc. (501 c 3 Not-for-Profit Since 2008). Chris did four tours in Iraq and was seriously injured four times. As a medic, he pushed to get back in the battle and take care of the wounded, but when he came home, how was he treated? Please listen to this podcast and share it with someone who could benefit. Also, Chris will talk about, "Pawsitive for Heroes" - a military service dog program for qualified veterans (only). This has grown to become a nationally requested need of many veterans around the United States. They have matched more than 200+ veterans to military service dogs. They need more support. Each graduating dog costs between $7,500-$10,000 to fully train. Maybe you love animals or you have a veteran in your family or community who could benefit from a service dog. Here's how to apply: Call- (716) 630-5020 or www.WNYHeroes.org. Tell them you heard about it on MindSet with Tom McNulty, M.S.
