Gabe, a therapy dog adopted by Josh Wierenga, a Behavioral Health Coordinator for the Michigan National Guard, plays a crucial role in helping service members open up and manage their mental health. Trained as a service dog, Gabe’s presence allows soldiers to feel more comfortable discussing their struggles, offering emotional support during behavioral health check-ins. Wierenga’s mission is to break the stigma surrounding mental health in the military, ensuring that soldiers know seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. (Courtesy Photo)
