Moulton, NH Chief Justice John Broderick Discussion Mental Health at Bedford VA Monday

BEDFORD, Mass.— Representative Seth Moulton (MA-06) and former New Hampshire Supreme Court Chief Justice John Broderick will discuss mental health at the Bedford VA this Monday. The public is invited to attend.

BACKGROUND:

Justice Broderick frequently joins schools and community groups throughout New England for conversations about mental health. Last year, WBUR profiled his efforts to raise awareness about mental health issues by telling his family’s story.

Representative Seth Moulton is a leader in Congress on veteran and military mental health policy. For example, last year he spearheaded efforts to include funds in the FY2019 National Defense Authorization Act to enable the Department of Defense to create and make public a strategy for improving care at the Defense Health Agency.

Later next week, Moulton will speak with the Defense Department’s leaders about the FY 2020 budget at four House Armed Services Committee hearings.

Moulton has also worked with author Sebastian Junger to create a new format of town halls where veterans have a place to discuss their experiences in war and raise mental health issues among other veterans.
