There are some common traits shared by most people fighting anxiety and depression or struggling with thoughts of suicide. And while the awareness and understanding of mental health issues have both improved, many of the solutions that are in place today don’t make the required difference for people who need help right now.

Matthew Brown earned his degree from the US Naval Academy in 2005. He went on to serve as the captain of USS SCOUT (MCM-8) and as part of US Navy SEAL TEAM 17, as a strategic studies Fellow for the Chief of Naval Operations, as aide-de-camp for Strategy & Policy at US Joint Forces Command, and as leader of the Coalition Indirect Fires Group in Baghdad, Iraq.

In this interview, Matthew speaks with host Mary Kate Soliva about:

• The decision he made to leave active duty so he can help people, regardless of their military or Veteran status, deal with mental health challenges

• How Chimney Trail is taking a different approach to addressing 10 common cognitive distortions associated with depression and suicide

• The effort underway to continually improve their solutions and the impact they are able to have for those struggling with their mental health
