New Bern, North Carolina - June 18, 2024 - Acclaimed veteran advocate and addiction recovery expert, Garret Biss, has released his highly anticipated TEDx talk titled "The Unspoken Trauma All Veterans Face." In this compelling presentation, Garret delves into the hidden struggles that veterans endure during their transition from military to civilian life.
Garret Biss, a retired Marine Corps Pilot and award-winning author, draws from his own experiences and years of advocacy to shed light on the often-overlooked challenges veterans face. His talk addresses the profound sense of loss - of connection, authenticity, and purpose - that many veterans encounter upon leaving active duty.
"Transitioning from military service is a journey fraught with emotional and psychological hurdles," Garret says. "My goal with this TEDx Talk is to bring these issues to the forefront and foster a deeper understanding of the unique struggles veterans face."
With 200,000 service members transitioning into the workforce each year, it is crucial to recognize the high rates of mental health challenges and substance use disorders stemming from the unique hardships of military service. These issues not only impact veterans but also ripple through the communities and companies they join.
Supporting veterans in overcoming these challenges is not just a matter of personal well-being but a societal imperative. By helping veterans achieve the joy-filled, fulfilling lives they deserve, veterans are enabled to contribute positively and powerfully to their new environments. When veterans are supported, the resilience and success of communities and workplaces is enhanced, ensuring that both veterans and those around them can thrive.
