In this deeply emotional and critical episode of Your Next Mission® video podcast, 12th SMA (R) Jack L. Tilley sits down with Tiffany Benjamin, CEO of the Humana Foundation, to discuss the urgent fight against Veteran Suicide, the critical importance of Military Caregivers and so much more. Three years ago, the USAA, Reach Resilience Foundation, and the Humana Foundation launched “Face the Fight,” a national coalition that has now grown to over 300 partners and positively impacted more than 1.4 million lives.
Tiffany shares the profound work being done to support Military Families, K-12 military children facing deployment transitions, and the incredible responsibility shouldered by Military Caregivers. She also breaks down the Humana Foundation’s recent $3 million commitment to the Elizabeth Dole Foundation to ensure Military Caregivers receive the critical mental health support they deserve. Throughout the episode, SMA Tilley vulnerably opens up about his own personal battles with anger and undiagnosed PTSD following combat deployments, emphasizing the life-saving importance of simply asking a Veteran, “Are you okay?”.
