Andy Price shares insights from the frontlines of service and mental health advocacy, offering up fresh perspectives on care beyond the dental clinic.
In our latest episode, we speak with veteran Andy Price, who dives into the heart of what we mean by community – what makes us feel connected, supported and seen.
Andy transitioned from experiencing the brutal realities of war in the Middle East and north Africa to battling complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) following a career-ending breakdown in 2017. Now, he is a mental health advocate within the veteran community, raising awareness and support for this critical issue.
Andy has dedicated his post-service life to supporting others – particularly those navigating mental health challenges after military life. He is the founder of The Veterans Hub, a one-of-a-kind community that’s been a lifeline for many.
The episode is not just about service: it is about how we care for each other in every setting, professional and personal – from dental practices to home life.
We'll explore:
- What community means
- Andy's personal journey from rifleman to founder of The Veterans Hub
- His mental health turning point
- The evolution of mental health
- Parallels between military and dental settings
- The importance of talking.
