Evan Shelline at Studio 281: why Veterans go quiet, and when to make a call
Evan’s conversation at Studio 281, recorded with Inbound 281 in Troy: why so many Veterans stop talking about their service as they get older, what a peer can do that a program cannot, and when to pick up the phone and call someone you served with, or the Veteran down the hall. Our thanks to Greg Quinn and the Inbound 281 team for the studio and the recording.
The full video of the Studio 281 interview is on the Video page.
What he has said about it
“I’m talking to him about things that he hasn’t talked to his family about. That peer-to-peer support is vital.”
