00:00.160 --> 00:02.410
- Before my position here at ATAG-Army

00:02.410 --> 00:03.590
I was a state trooper

00:03.590 --> 00:06.790
and had responded to
several suicide calls.

00:06.790 --> 00:08.400
There's dozens of times out there

00:08.400 --> 00:10.140
that I can think of in my career

00:10.140 --> 00:12.490
that I've been able to get to an incident

00:12.490 --> 00:15.350
and then make sure that they
have the resources needed

00:15.350 --> 00:16.590
and those individuals turn out

00:16.590 --> 00:19.685
to leading very healthy, successful lives.

00:19.685 --> 00:22.102
(soft music)

00:23.140 --> 00:24.870
Every time that you
come back from any type

00:24.870 --> 00:28.300
of strenuous field exercise or deployment

00:28.300 --> 00:30.210
some of the things to
look out for would be

00:30.210 --> 00:32.630
excessive drinking, substance abuse,

00:32.630 --> 00:34.950
somebody not having
the energy, depression,

00:34.950 --> 00:37.680
if they start to give away
some of their belongings,

00:37.680 --> 00:40.773
being unkept, not maintaining
personal hygiene standards.

00:44.680 --> 00:46.560
Please get help.

00:46.560 --> 00:48.570
Tell somebody, anybody,

00:48.570 --> 00:50.620
if it's your chain of
command, if it's a friend,

00:50.620 --> 00:51.920
if it's a family member.

00:51.920 --> 00:55.120
You can get through this with help

00:55.120 --> 00:56.900
and you can be successful,

00:56.900 --> 00:58.743
you can live a healthy, happy life.
