Mental Health Services and the Military

   It's been one of those days. So my words for the day are the military needs to really take a good look at the mental health services provided for their service members and their families, and the lack of those services. Just saying. I've got a bunch more to add to this but am not sure I could put if very nicely. However, I think the family services are poorly lacking for the national guard families. As well, I'm not really sure what services are provided for the service members, but the little I do know and have been exposed to it seems like it's a mark of dishonor to admit that there are mental health needs that need to be addressed. Instead of working with the service members and their families things are pushed under the carpet until things explode and are pass the point of damage. Deployments are difficult and mental health services need to be revamped. I guess my main point is that mental health services for military members and their families need to be more proactive rather than reactive.
