PTSD Awareness Month & Juneteenth

iHeartRadio Communities

Ryan Gorman hosts an iHeartRadio nationwide special featuring Cole Lyle, USMC Veteran & Executive Director of Mission Roll Call. Cole Lyle joins the show for PTSD Awareness Month to discuss the issue of PTSD and mental health among veterans, including the overall scope of the problem and different strategies that have effectively addressed the challenges some veterans face. Kelly Navies, Museum Specialist of Oral History at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, also joins the show. Kelly Navies discusses the history of the Juneteenth holiday, from the period between the conclusion of the Civil War and the freeing of enslaved people in Texas to the events following that moment in history that led to the recent push for Juneteenth to become a federal holiday.
