The story of a Soldier, Retired Army Veteran, mother to two teenagers and Military Spouse dealing with life after the Army.
I share my story and talk about the daily struggles with family and personal issues (depression, PTSD, anxiety, trauma).
My goal is to inspire and motivate other men and women who struggle. My mission is to end the stigma of mental health, and stop suicide and let you know that you are NOT alone.
Annette M. Whittenberger, currently living in Fairfax, Virginia understands the challenge of veteran transition and development as she is a Retired Combat Veteran, an Army Spouse and mother to a college sophmore and high school junior.
Because she understands the difficulty of transitioning out the military as a female, she is able to talk through the steps, make a plan and offer resources in order to fulfill your passion.
She focuses on coaching others through PTSD, anxiety and depression and overcoming trauma.
She is a mentor with Veterati, eMentor and for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS).
She is also in the process of collaborating with other like minded and like hearted people to help end the stigma on mental health.
Annette has a B.A in Psychology and an MS in Environmental Management.
