The second goal was to build a model wherein the attendees could build this mentality into their daily lives. The third goal was to build allies to destigmatize mental health care and promote healthy emotional outlets and have them create their own goals to accomplish in their own groups. Lastly, the goal was to build buy-in and allow the members to identify and defend the mental health care from negative criticism and bad actors. 000009806 540__ $$fCC BY 000009806 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009806 650__ $$aMental Health$$022046 000009806 650__ $$aSuicide$$026555 000009806 650__ $$aVeterans$$027802 000009806 650__ $$aPerception$$023779 000009806 650__ $$aMilitary Personnel$$022316 000009806 6531_ $$aprevention and control 000009806 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009806 692__ $$aDivision of Physician Assistant Education$$041465 000009806 7001_ $$aMeaders, Craig$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009806 8564_ $$9e0f443bf-cf17-4b46-9c7f-e6c9ec5061c9$$s428662$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9806/files/Meaders.Craig.2022.pdf 000009806 905__ $$a/rest/prod/k0/69/88/27/k0698827w 000009806 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9806$$pstudent-work 000009806 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
