Hi , I'm Patrick Serta . And this is my
wife Terry Serta . We lost our son
Brandon to suicide . June 25th , 2018 .
Brandon was a very happy ,
compassionate and respectful young man .
He always found and saw the good in
people . Unfortunately , he endured
persistent hazing bullying and many
other things , Brandon felt the only
solution to his problem was to end his
own life . We are very pleased that
Congress passed the Brandon Act . It
allows for confidential reporting of
mental health concerns and ensures
resources are available to help those
who are struggling if a service member
asks for help , support them and let
them know it's ok . Refer them to a
chaplain counselor or medical
professional and give them the time
that they need . You can make a
tremendous difference in the quality of
life of a service member . Learn more
about mental health resources and the
Brandon Act .
