Getting counseling: What have you faced?
Posted : Monday Mar 15, 2010 10:27:13 EDT
At a recent think-tank discussion in Washington, a former Marine described a commander who wouldn't allow troops to get mental health counseling unless they obtained a permission slip — which was attached to a 3-foot-tall teddy bear that they had to carry to the counseling session.
Washington lawmakers can talk all they want about removing the stigma of seeking mental health help, but what really counts is what's happening at your duty station. Have you heard similar tales of humiliation for troops trying to get mental health counseling? Send your stories to mentalhealth@militarytimes.com. No names will be used without permission.
