In today's episode, titled "Transforming Veteran Care: Wes Huddleston's Fight for Mental Health and Substance Use Solutions," we're honored to have Wes Huddleston, a former CEO of NADCP and the visionary founder of Justice for Vets, join us. Wes has been a tireless advocate for justice-involved veterans, pioneering veterans treatment courts that support those with mental health and substance use disorders.

We'll dive into the remarkable impact of these courts, which now number nearly 800 worldwide, and discuss the life-changing programs they offer. You'll hear about the alarming rates of veteran suicide and the crucial role these courts play in providing a sense of camaraderie, purpose, and specialized care for our veterans. We also talk about legislative milestones like the Mission act and the Compact act, designed to improve access to care for veterans.
