Voice of the Injured Worker – “Going Crazy” at Home

Episode 3 of Voice of the Injured Worker tells the story of Jesus Martinez Gomez. “The first two to three weeks after getting hurt, I was just sitting at home, going crazy.” The transitional duty program empowered him to volunteer at the Museum of Military History, a “healing house” for him. Depression and well-being were phrases he used quite often, and the ability to feel useful and engaged was his antidote.
