Supporting Military Medics in Transition and Through the Reintegration Experience

Transitioning from the military to civilian life can be a challenging and overwhelming experience, especially for military medics who have dedicated their lives to serving and saving others. However, there are organizations like Caring Souls for Veterans that are dedicated to supporting military medics in their transition and ensuring a smooth reintegration into civilian life. Led by Dr. Iesiah "Esha" Harris, a service-disabled combat Veteran and a minority woman, Caring Souls for Veterans understands the unique challenges that military medics face during their transition. Dr. Harris herself has experienced a suboptimal military transition and is committed to helping medics smoothly reintegrate into their civilian lives. One of the key services provided by Caring Souls for Veterans is support and guidance for military medics transitioning to civilian life.
