Our CEO Joins Brass & Unity Podcast

Boot Campaign / January 25 2023

Our CEO Shelly Kirkland recently joined Canadian veteran Kelsi Sheren on an episode of her podcast, Brass & Unity. Kelsi is the founder of jewelry company Brass & Unity, which Boot Campaign partnered with to launch a custom, YOU MATTER Buddy Check Bracelet set to benefit our individualized programs.

Their conversation included elements of the current mental health stigma in America today, personal examples of struggles and explanations for why treatment must be individualized.  

The two went in-depth on our Health & Wellness Program’s growth, how our treatment pipeline is tailored to each veteran we serve and our goal to impact and improve every aspect of their life. 

“We’re not just going to be an organization that treats the symptoms. We want to get to the root cause of what’s happening with veterans’ brain and body.”
