In this episode of CHAP Chat, we welcome Staff Sgt. Jamie Beaman, who works in the G3, the state-level division responsible for training and mobilization. Jamie shares her military journey, her love of reading, and how literature helps her cope with stress. Jamie candidly shares her decade-long struggles with anxiety and depression, insights from her deployment to Afghanistan, and the challenges she faced as a female in a predominantly male environment—including the valuable lessons learned from Afghan women in authority roles. She also recounts her transformative experience at the Big Red Barn, a nonprofit supporting veterans and first responders, emphasizing the importance of personalized mental health care and the courage to seek help. Join us for an inspiring conversation about resilience, mental health, and the power of community support.
