I assert that new paradigms are not really new. Perhaps these paradigms are a matter of new vocabularies. There is no new paradigms only shifts in them. Is implementing these changes are simply vehicles of change?

How do we address these changing modes of perception that is inclusive of the poor and disabled? Do these paradigms involve unfair stigmas, like at the VA where suicides are a topic of conversation. That the stigmas are codified and understood implicitly? For example, panic buttons in classes at the VA for stemming violence.

We have addressed social stigmas here and solutions for suicides. So the question becomes, are we serious about changes for the good of Veterans and Service Members or is it business as usual?

Until suicide is considered a problem with causes there is nothing more than ticking bombs and troublemakers then these problems will persist into the distant future.

Sorry for this lengthy diatribe, but the paradigm is and will remain the same and the conversation and solutions are new ways of calling therapy by a new name?

Outlines or outcomes?

What the Lord spoke through Solomon in Ecclesiastes is still applicable today. There is nothing new under the sun SSgt (Join to see). Certainly people are gifted at recrafting, rebranding, and reimaging ideas including the way we should' view things which has come to be known as paradigms. :-)

SSgt (Join to see) - I agree with you that it is really more of the same. Maybe stated in a different manner, but still the same.
