Supportive Services for Veteran Families feat. Dr. Trina Clayeux

We are often encouraged not to neglect our mental health, and seek therapy if we need to speak to someone. However, there is only one mental health professional for every 340 people in need of mental health services. This shortage is especially detrimental for military or veteran families. Our guest today is Dr. Trina Clayeux, CEO of the nonprofit, Give an Hour [https://giveanhour.org/]. Give an Hour was created with the mission of developing resilience through individualized mental health programs aimed at closing access and delivery gaps for active military, veterans, and their loved ones. On this episode we cover the value of clinical support vs. peer support, and how the system responsible for mental health coverage often falls short for our veterans.

Managing Grieving Employees with Loss Support feat. Jennifer Good

After bereavement leave runs out and the sympathy flowers stop arriving, your employees inherit more than just grief. They’re suddenly responsible for over 570 hours of overwhelming logistics–from funeral arrangements, probate, account closures, estate paperwork, and benefit claims at the moment they're least equipped to handle it. Senior Director Jennifer Good joined Homethrive following the company's acquisition of Peacefully, an organization that pioneered support for families navigating end-of-life tasks for their loved ones. Jennifer founded Peacefully after personally experiencing the challenges that come when a loved one passes away. In this episode, we explore how loss support allows family members to focus on their healing during times of grief, and how to handle loss as an employer.
