On this episode we host the Volunteers of America's Mass Bay Vet's Center (MBVC). We're joined by Angela Eberle & Kyle Palstrome of the MBVC staff - they explain how the program functions, what supports and resources are available for their veteran residents, and some details about an exciting new program opening up in Plymouth. We're also joined by Melvyn Blanchard, a Vietnam veteran and resident of the program. Melvyn shares with us the struggles he began facing after returning home from Vietnam, including decades of addiction / substance abuse, domestic issues, rotations through psychiatric facilities, and homelessness before arriving at the MBVC, where he was able to turn his life around. Today Melvyn is sober, he is healing mentally, psychologically, and spiritually, he is stable financially, and will be moving into a home of his own in the near future.
