As Donna and Jay continue their series on Veteran Treatment Court, they look at the resources within the Veteran Treatment Court. One of the important aspects of helping our Veterans to move forward is to have a strong peer mentoring program.
Mike Fogerty is the Peer Service Coordinator for the Military Veteran Peer Network (MVPN). He works to recruit, educate and match mentors with Veterans in the Treatment Court. Donna and Jay talk with Mike about his Veteran background, how he became involved in the MVPN, and role of the mentors, and their importance.
