Many aren't familiar with the Veterans Justice Outreach and Justice for Vets programs. Who should take the lead in correcting that issue?

What is a Veterans Treatment Court? | Justice for Vets

Most veterans are strengthened by their military service, but the combat experience has unfortunately left a growing number of veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury. One in five veterans has symptoms of a mental health disorder or cognitive impairment. One in six veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom suffer from a substance abuse issue. Research continues to draw a link...

I'd have to say the organizations should. Word of mouth marketing only goes so far.

I think it should be a combined effort. It's a great resource to have in your pocket.

Also, SSG Carlos Madden , would you be the one to ask about creating a "Justice for Vets" and/or "Veterans Justice Outreach" tag? I know there are a few VJO Specialists here.
