Dr. Van Dahlen is Changing the Story
"I began Give an Hour with the hope that it
could someday serve to assist, support and perhaps even augment the services
available through the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. I was a bit
naïve to think that just because I had an idea – regardless of how good it
turned out to be – that DoD and the VA would be interested in partnering. It
has taken 9 years of heavy lifting to develop the trust that we now have with
our friends and colleagues in the military community. I was sitting on a beach
with my family when I received the notice last summer that I had been selected
for the Army's Outstanding Civilian Service Award. I cried when I read the
email. I was overwhelmed with pride and gratitude. April 28th was an amazing
day – one that I will remember for the rest of my life. And more important than
the honor I received, are the relationships that I now have with colleagues in
the military who understand that mental health is not a military issue – they
understand that we must change the way we think about, talk about and address
mental health as a nation. They will help with the campaign and they will be
excellent partners as we Change the Story."
