Welcome to VET’ed. where we spotlight the issues that matter to the Veteran and military communities and their families and voices behind real change — from the battlefield to the frontlines of advocacy.
This podcast exists to shine a light on the misperceptions, misconceptions, and misunderstandings that persist within and around the Veteran and military communities and their families.
This is accomplished by inviting trusted, vetted guests—experts, advocates, professionals, and those with lived experience—who specialize in areas that matter most to service members, Veterans, and their loved ones. From navigating benefits and healthcare to understanding legal rights, mental health resources, transition support, and beyond, we bring facts and real talk to the table.
This podcast is not just about delivering information—it’s about creating a forum for honest, respectful, and sometimes difficult conversations. It’s a place where veterans, service members, and their families can ask questions, share their stories, express their frustrations, and engage directly with the topics raised by our subject matter guests.
Trust is everything in these communities. That’s why every resource shared and every guest featured is carefully vetted—for accurate, reliable, relevant and useful information
At its core, this podcast is here to bridge the gaps, cut through the red tape, and amplify the voices of those who have served, are serving, and stand beside those who do. This is about serving the people who served us—and making sure they know they’re not alone.
In this powerful return episode of the VET’ed. Podcast, Jen M. Wagman sits down with Dr. Kent Corso, behavioral health expert, clinical psychologist, suicideologist and core partner in the Veterans Talking to Veterans (VTTV) initiative. Recorded live during Memorial Day Weekend at the National Museum of Military Vehicles in DuBois, Wyoming, this conversation marks the beginning of a special series captured on site at the VTTV Resource Fair and Coaches’ Graduation Ceremony.
Dr. Corso walks us through the mission behind VTTV’s trauma-informed coaching model—a growing movement endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that trains Veterans to support other Veterans and their families through meaningful, peer-led conversations. In an era where wait times for mental health care are dangerously long and provider shortages are worsening, VTTV offers an immediate, community-driven response rooted in empathy, trust, and shared experience.
We explore how coaching differs from therapy, why it matters, and how this program—now active in 12 communities, including the Department of Corrections—is already saving lives. Dr. Corso also shares what he sees as the biggest challenges facing today's transitioning service members, Veterans and their families—and how to meet them with practical, proven solutions.
This episode is for anyone committed to Veteran mental health, suicide prevention, and creating systems of care that work from the inside out.
