Army Veteran a champion for health and research - VAntage Point

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting. Kudos to Army Veteran Keisha Bellamy who begins each day with a cup of coffee, opens her laptop and logs in to Zoom.
"She facilitates a six-week course on healthy living for Veterans, and on one particular morning, one woman in the group was struggling. The Veteran lives with post-traumatic stress disorder, and was feeling defensive, disrupting the group conversation.
Bellamy has seen these actions before in others. As a registered nurse with a background in mental health nursing, she redirects the conversation with skill and compassion."
“You see, at VA we offer a safe haven to Veterans like this woman who others might dismiss or find difficult to work with in a group setting,” Bellamy says. “That’s because many employees at VA are Veterans. We see ourselves in our patients and they see themselves in us.”
After six weeks, the Veterans graduate with new skills and goals for managing chronic illness. They also finish the course as comrades in healthier living, offering each other friendship and support as they manage their illness together
