In this powerful return episode of the VET’ed. Podcast, Jen M. Wagman sits down with Dr. Kent Corso, behavioral health expert, clinical psychologist, suicideologist and core partner in the Veterans Talking to Veterans (VTTV) initiative. Recorded live during Memorial Day Weekend at the National Museum of Military Vehicles in DuBois, Wyoming, this conversation marks the beginning of a special series captured on site at the VTTV Resource Fair and Coaches’ Graduation Ceremony.

Dr. Corso walks us through the mission behind VTTV’s trauma-informed coaching model—a growing movement endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that trains Veterans to support other Veterans and their families through meaningful, peer-led conversations. In an era where wait times for mental health care are dangerously long and provider shortages are worsening, VTTV offers an immediate, community-driven response rooted in empathy, trust, and shared experience.

We explore how coaching differs from therapy, why it matters, and how this program—now active in 12 communities, including the Department of Corrections—is already saving lives. Dr. Corso also shares what he sees as the biggest challenges facing today's transitioning service members, Veterans and their families—and how to meet them with practical, proven solutions.

This episode is for anyone committed to Veteran mental health, suicide prevention, and creating systems of care that work from the inside out.
