133 [S3E36]: Steven Miller, County Veteran Service Officer, on Serving Those Who Served
To the thousands of residents of Monroe County who were ever active-duty, Steven Miller is likely to be a familiar name. He's the Veteran Service Officer, who runs Monroe County's Veterans Affairs Department. He tells us about the services he administers to vets, including pensions, education and burial benefits. He also talks about the harder side of the VA. Many vets have seen more than they bargained for. He talks about disability benefits, veterans case conferencing and treatment court for those struggling with substance abuse, as well as other services targeted to serving those who served.
Note: In the second half of this episode, as part of her work, the conversation turns to veterans who have considered suicide. It may not be suitable for younger or more sensitive listeners. (If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide and seeking emotional support, there are crisis lines available via phone, chat, or text. The number to call, message or Google nationwide is 9-8-8; press 1 to be connected to a veteran who can help.)
