LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A panel shared a different perspectives on a veteran's journey to recovery.
Magistrate Judge John Payne shared the progress of Lima's Veteran's Court, and the different services they offer to help veterans down the path of recovery who are dealing with PTSD and other mental health struggles. Payne also brought a member who went through the court itself and is now helping others, all in an effort to showcase the importance of the court to the local area.
"We actually today for the first time have one of our past participants who's going to be sharing his perspective of the program, so I'm really excited about that perspective. Today, we are doing a panel discussion to kind of get more than just mine and the court's perspective but also our mentors' perspective, and our participants' perspective," said John Payne, magistrate judge.
