How to help other veterans in trouble?

thank you...

First of all, does he want help? If he needs help, and you feel that he is not in the right frame of mind, try reaching out to his wife. I know they're estranged, but if they are still legally married, she can contact the police and they can order a psych assessment. I know this isn't ideal, but this way it gets mental health services involved much faster than waiting for a referral from a family doctor. You can also contact VAC and find out if there are any recognized peer groups in his area that you can point him to.

Best of luck
