Subject: FOODS That Promote Healing From the Symptoms of PTSD? A New Concept Cooking Show is coming soon. This Veterans Suicide Prevention Month, the VSPChannel is working to create one of the most important shows we have ever attempted to create, to date. We have stumbled across an innovative way to treat PTSD, anxiety, depression, and many other ailments in veterans and it was right in our faces all along. FOOD.
This discovery became clear to me about a year ago when a Veterans Peer Specialist from the VA and I were on the phone with a Veteran who we had been trying to talk him out of putting a pistol to his head and ending his life. While talking with this Veteran for nearly 3 hours, I noticed he indicated several times, that he was so distraught that he had not eaten anything all day long. After a while, I was able to talk him into fixing himself something to eat and noticed that after he ate, his attitude and mood began to improve significantly. This got me to thinking, could it be possible that the food had been a catalyst in helping him to stabilize emotionally and so dramatically after eating? So, I went online and did a search to find out if food could help with treating mental illness and the most common symptoms associated with PTSD, anxiety and depression. To my astonishment, there was a wealth of information and research by respected organizations and doctors regarding the amazing curative powers that can be found in food to fight mental illnesses such as PTSD. My mind was on fire at this discovery.
Although we had just completed a pilot for a new cooking show, "The Cooking With Chef Dad Show",
I decided that our next cooking show would be one that would create recipes intended to promote healing in Veterans and their family members that suffer with depression, anxiety and symptoms associated with PTSD. The VSPChannel is currently initiating a campaign to raise funds to produce the first 5 episodes of this show, which has been named the "COOKING FOR VETERANS MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH Show". We need your support in the coming weeks to spread the word about this amazing show and to support our crowdfunding campaign for funds to help this show to become a broadcast reality.
The response for this show, thus far, has been amazing. We have cast two Veteran Army Chef's, who are both Master of their craft, to become the on-camera personalities for this show. "Chef Andre Rush", was the top Enlisted Chef for the Superintendent of the West Point Military Academy, and now works at the White House and prepares nutritionally balanced meals for the President of the United States, the first family, their guest, and staff. ( Andre can dead lift 700 pounds and is built like a brick house). Chef Charles Johnson worked alongside Chef Andre Rush while at West Point and went on to become an Instructor for the Fort Bliss Culinary Arts Program. (Charles can dead lift any recipe book designed to promote good health, and Andre if need be). These two outstanding chefs will be preparing recipes with only the best ingredients to show Veterans and their family members how to prepare easy meals with selected ingredients designed to promote mental and physical wellness, and family oneness.
So, please, spread the word about the power of Food in fighting major symptoms associated with PTSD and support our Indiegogo.com crowdfunding campaign to raise money to produce this innovative, life saving show that will start on or about September 25, 2016.
See the attachment to this email and share as needed, there are links to potentially life saving information for all Veterans during this Veterans Suicide Prevention Month on how food can begin to assist in healing their PTSD.
Lets help save Veterans from the debilitating causes of suicide that can be helped with proper nutrition.

Free Wills Clinic for Veterans Who Live in NYC

The Veterans Assistance Project (VAP) and the Elderlaw Project (ELP)  at the City Bar Justice Center (the not-for-profit section of the New York City Bar Association) has recently initiated wills clinics for Veterans.  The program provides free estate planning assistance for eligible Veterans.  The next clinic is scheduled for Wednesday, November 9, 2016 at 2:00p.m. in midtown Manhattan.

This service is available to low- to moderate-income Veterans who reside in NYC and are interested in preparing any of the following documents at no cost:

·         Last Will and Testament – Allows you to leave instructions about how your property should be distributed after your death. It also allows people with responsibility for minor children to name a guardian to care for them.
·         Health Care Proxy – Allows you to choose someone (your ‘Agent’) to make medical decisions on your behalf if your condition prevents you from communicating your wishes to your doctor. Your Agent will speak for you.
·         Living Will – If your condition is such that there is no hope of recovery, this document allows you to state your wishes about life sustaining treatment (e.g. breathing tubes, feeding tubes, etc).
·         Power of Attorney – Allows you to name an Agent to handle your non-medical matters, e.g. banking, housing decisions and taxes.
·         Disposition of Remains document – Allows you to name an Agent to handle your funeral and burial arrangements.

Veterans interested in attending the clinic should contact us to check eligibility by calling: 212-382-4743.

If eligible, the Veteran will be paired up with an attorney at the clinic who will prepare the document(s) free of cost.

Military-Civilian Testimonial 10/5/16











I have been a regular user of Military - Civilian over the years. I work as a contractor internationally and I am former member of the military. Military-Civilian understand what employers want, especially those working in defence, medical and security related industries seeking former military to dovetail into their job specs. Lucy herself is very good at finding staff to match to these requirements and one of best contracts I ever worked on, she helped to place me with the employer. It was UN sanctioned mission in West Africa and one of the greatest experiences of my professional life which has added value to my employability. 

I have often recommended Lucy to my colleagues because she understands how to match job seekers and employers together.

5 Ways to Support Our Law Enforcement Heroes



Law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to protect their communities. While law enforcement is comprised of some of the strongest, bravest men and women in the world, these officers are not immune to mental health problems, addiction, or even suicide. 

In fact, some statistics indicate that the stressful work environment and traumatic circumstances officers find themselves in can increase the likelihood for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health issues. This can even lead to thoughts of suicide. The support system for law enforcement extends beyond their own circle of family, friends, and coworkers; members of society can contribute support in their own ways. 

1. Recognize the warning signs. Those closest to law enforcement individuals are often able to identify warning signs of mental health issues lurking under the surface. In Public Safety outlines several potential warning signs to look for including:
















●       Talk of suicide or death
●       Verbalizing negative self-talk
●       Isolation from friends and family
●       Sudden dramatic improvement in mood after a period of depression or being withdrawn
●       Extreme mood changes, such as aggression and hostility or passivity and hopelessness
●       Reckless behavior or inappropriate use of weapons
●       Asking another officer to hold their weapon
●       Recent issues with alcohol or drugs

Family and friends may feel helpless when they’re concerned about the well-being of a law enforcement officer, but there are ways to help. Preventing a downward spiral into alcoholism or extreme irreversible actions (such as attempted suicide) begins with providing support, not only when warning signs are noticed, but before. 

2. Encourage the “annual mental health check.” Developed in 2006, the annual mental health check is a program encouraging officers to visit a licensed therapist once per year as a preventative measure. It was created as a response to alarming statistics about suicide among law enforcement professionals. Encourage the law heroes in your life to participate in this voluntary program to preserve their mental health. 

3. Volunteer for a peer-to-peer helpline. Retired law officers can continue to give back to the community and support their fellow law enforcement professionals by volunteering for a peer-to-peer helpline such as Copline. This is a national hotline providing a safe and confidential support system for police officers. 

Manned by trained, retired officers, Copline provides a valuable service by providing current officers with direct support from peers who understand the stressors of the profession. 

4. Support organizations such as the National Police Wives Association. Law enforcement professionals are not the only ones who experience stress as a result of their field. Their spouses are also affected by the stress and pressure. Organizations like the NPWA not only offer support for wives of law officers, but also provide a safe haven where they can learn about resources that help with their spouse’s mental health. CopsAlive.com, additionally, identifies many organizations that provide support to police officers and their family, friends, and coworkers. 

5. Make a donation to an organization that supports law enforcement. Even if you’re not married to a law enforcement officer or even know one personally, you can help to support these heroes by giving to organizations that promote their mental well-being. These organizations can offer confidential support and interventions to law professionals experiencing mental health challenges.
By donating to a 501(c)(3) organization like Support Police, you’ll contribute to the purchase of life-saving equipment, important ongoing education and training for law enforcement, and financial assistance programs for families of officers who have lost their lives. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is another organization that brings communities together to demonstrate their support of the law enforcement heroes.

Whether you’re a retired or current law enforcement officer, a spouse of one, friend, or a member of the community at large, there are ways for everyone to offer support for those who put their lives on the line for their communities every day.
