A non-profit veterans support group has a campaign to inspire people to change lives. 

Josh Thielen, Department Adjutant of the American Legion explains the 'Be The One' Campaign exists to push people to make a difference in other's lives, in big or small ways. He says some of the ways to do this are asking, listening, and reaching out. 

If someone you are close to seems like there's something wrong, there probably is. According to Thielen, the legion has worked with Colombia University on a 90-minute training on just how to help someone in a bad situation. 

Thielen mentions that although it's hard to help everyone, it's their mission to help as many people as possible because you never know when someone could be considering suicide or facing the effects of depression. 

This is a campaign that the American Legion has been pushing the last few years, but especially last year. The former National Commander, Dan Seehafer, was a big part of this campaign, and his successor Jim LaCoursiere has desires to keep it going. 

Thielen notes that coming home from deployment can be very hard for veterans because they become used to the very structured schedule of the military. This is the reason mental health support is so crucial for them. You can find more information on these resources for yourself or a loved one at legion.org/betheone
