PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Veterans are experiencing improved mental health, better coping skills, and a generally increased sense of well-being, thanks to a therapy group that has formed during the endless hours in Veterans Administration waiting room at the Providence VA Medical Center, Duffel Blog has learned.
“Bob and I sat next to each other for more than eight hours one day, and we just got to talking," said retired Air Force Master Sgt. Doug "Bubba" Ween. "Now, we see each other every Tuesday morning in the VA waiting room, and we have five or six others who join in while they wait. I have to say, after four months of therapy with Bob, I am feeling really good about things.”
Ween is referring to fellow retired Air Force Master Sgt. Bob Greenstein. Both Air Force veterans are also Providence Rhode Island VA medical center waiting room veterans as well.
