Sinnissippi Centers, a behavioral health organization in Dixon, provides community-based services for veterans – from a veteran.
“One of the biggest struggles with this population is isolation,” said Bryn Slager, senior manager of community services. “Naturally, their experiences are so unique and different from everybody else. Having someone else who can say, ‘I know exactly what that feels like’ means the world to them.
“A lot of times they’re not talking about those experiences [of their service.] They’re just talking about living daily life, but that becomes very different from the rest of us who haven’t been there or seen that or experienced that – even if they haven’t seen combat.
