This is the final broadcast in this 2021 series. Look for an announcement for upcoming broadcasts and dates in 2022. All panel discussions are held exclusively on Wreaths Across America Radio.

The goal of the Wreaths Across America Radio roundtable series on Veteran Healing is to help reduce barriers for veterans by:

• Supporting generational bonds between service veterans through stories of service and success;

• Destigmatizing issues faced by veterans and asking for help;

• Combating inaccurate perceptions of veterans by discussing the diverse experiences, challenges, and success of service members, veterans, and their families; and

• Connecting veterans with valuable resources.

Guest panelists include Dr. Chantal Dooley, TAPS; and Cindy Tatum, Gold Star Mother

Dooley is the Director of Impact Assessment and Research for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). Recognized internationally for her work in evidence-based practices, Dr. Dooley’s experience as an innovator, creator, teacher, and survivor supports the TAPS mission to ensure all programs and services meet the needs of all those grieving the death of a military loved one. She came to TAPS as the surviving fiancé of Captain Alex Stanton, Special Agent, USAF.

Tatum became a Gold Star Mother on Dec. 24, 2007. She served on the National Executive Board of AGSM from 2013-2021, serving as the 2020-21 National President, and presently lives in Milan, TN with her family. Her son, a veteran of Iraq, Cpl. Daniel Lee Tatum, USMC, was killed in an automobile/train collision outside of Camp Pendleton in California.
