Retired Recon Marine Chad Robichaux, whose Mighty Oaks Foundation was name-dropped during a House Veterans Affairs Hearing, spoke out on a recent debate.
'Save Our Allies' co-founder and U.S. Marine veteran Chad Robichaux reacts to NSC Coordinator John Kirby's play down of the 'chaos' in the Afghanistan withdrawal and the Biden administration blaming Donald Trump.called for the Biden administration to actively partner with faith-based veterans' mental health programs and organizations, after a Veterans Affairs official was pressed on the issue during a hearing.
Campbell said her department is"moving the needle on this" and must have a"full public health approach where suicide prevention is concerned." "Living veterans: That's evidence of a program's functioning," Van Orden said, going on to reference Robichaux's organization. Campbell added the department would, however, be willing to meet with Mighty Oaks to discuss a potential partnership.
"Meanwhile we are giving … $113 billion to corruption in Ukraine, [without] congressional oversight. With just one of those billion [dollars], faith-based VSOs could nearly eradicate this crisis amongst our military community," Robichaux argued. Robichaux argued Mighty Oaks' has thousands of success stories and"third-party independent data" showed it to be an"evidence-based" program despite the use of the moniker during Campbell's hearing.
In response to some of the criticism, the VA said in a lengthy statement to Fox News Digital that the department stops"at nothing to get Veterans who live with substance use disorder the help they need and deserve.""VA offers a comprehensive continuum of specialty substance use disorder services for Veterans, not just medication-based treatment. This continuum of care includes specialty SUD treatment outpatient and residential programs.
