Mike Michaud: “But one that we haven't zeroed in on too much yet has been access to mental health care and suicide prevention services…”

We are addressing the skill gap between veterans and employers who are seeking employees with industry-recognized credentials.

And so our bill, the PAWS Act, takes these veterans, particularly the ones that have severe Post-Traumatic Stress, and authorizes a small amount of funding so that the VA can pair them with specially trained service dogs.

When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.

We see a decline in opioid use. We see a decline in suicide. And I think that is obviously good for the veteran.
