 Many times you'll hear me say that what we do is a team sport. That is especially true when it comes to mental health. Some of the best and most important aspects of our service are the camaraderie and the esprit de corps that we build with one another. As we continue to combat depression and challenges to strong mental health within our ranks, I ask that you take a moment to routinely check on your teammates and shipmates to your left and your right. Many of them, to include myself, understand and share your experiences and there's some of the best people suited to work through life's challenges with you. We have licensed clinical social workers, counselors, and psychologists for matters that require more support. But I ask you to remember that in our everyday lives we can be changemakers for our shipmates and teammates. And that does not just apply to peers in your own pay grade, but that includes the junior sailor in the neighboring department or the senior leader who may have his or her head down a bit lately. This is an all hands effort. Reach out and remember you're never alone.
