RP Members check out this video and the Listening Project!
A veteran and a civilian in a room together. They don’t know each other, and the non-veteran just listens.
It is the basis of a project aimed to help veterans struggling to readjust to civilian life, and a local woman says it’s saving lives.
“No one comes home unscathed. You never get over war,” said retired Army Colonel, and clinical psychologist, Dr. Kathy Platoni of Centerville, in a Public Service Announcement for Listen 2 Veterans.
“It is so important to go beyond just thanking a veteran for their service. What is so much more needed is to really listen to a veteran.”
The national project isn’t therapy, but proponents say it’s healing.
