WELCOME TO THE ASK DR. APPLEWHITE TALK SHOW (formerly the Student2Teacher show since 2009) 

DO YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY A VETERAN BECOMES HOMELESS?                                                                                                          Hear student and veteran, ElRay Walker who served with two deployments to Afghanistan discuss how he faced homelessness with his wife and child. A few Vietnam veterans discuss the need for our country's government officials to become aware that 99% of veterans standing on street corners with cardboard signs did not choose this life course. Dr. Danita Applewhite is joined by Special Guest Barbara Gardner, Corporate Compliance/Safety Administrator at Terros, hear a great overview of how mental health intervention with Veterans may reduce their vulnerability for homelessness,  Hear another Special Guest, Melinda Vail, Intuitive Therapist and wife of a veteran who served 26 years, as she discusses how she deals with his mental challenges. All guests in our studio and those who called in to the Chat line share loving encouragement to all working students striving to help themselves, especially those who have in any capacity served our country!  This show is a public education podcast brought to you by White Apple Institute, a veteran-operated nonprofit 501(C)(3). Learn more at    https://whiteappleinstitute.org

It is so sad to hear about how so many families are still challenged by the emotional and financial impact of the government shutdowns, businesses and factory jobs closing, as well as the political BS that is causing division in our classrooms, workplaces, and communities. We hope this archived show will encourage our working students, veterans and their families to seek help preparing for emotional and financial crises.
