Kudos to the Navy and MWR for their outstanding support! They went above and beyond for our team, and it showed - over 100 Navy personnel gave up their free time to attend a training session that wasn't even mandatory. That's a powerful testament to their commitment. Our panel shared a candid and thought-provoking discussion on depression and su***de, striking a chord with the audience. The room resonated with laughter and tears as we shed light on the realities many face. Brad delivered a new finale to his show that's both poignant and impactful. The message rings clear: opening up about our struggles makes a difference, and with support, we can prevent unnecessary losses.
