TBS EP 17 - Dropping22 - Army Member/Founder Davis Jimenez & President and Mental Health Program Provider Melissa Ewing
In this episode, we sit down with Active Army member and founder of Dropping22, Davis Jimenez and President Melissa Ewing. We discuss the transition from active duty to veteran and the difficulties that one may encounter. Melissa and Davis describe the loss of identity and how it plays a roll in the transition process. We dive into the correlation between first responders and veterans and the similar obstacles that both fields. Dropping22 is a great non-profit that was created to combat veteran suicide and support our First Responders. You don't want to miss this one!
Davis Jimenez & Melissa Ewing
Founder and Director - President and Mental Health Program Provider
Outside of a few years living in California in his early teenage days, Davis Jimenez has spent his life in Great Bend.
Jimenez, who also serves in the U.S, Army Reserves, became involved with starting the organization after being deployed overseas in 2019. “One of the soldiers I worked with overseas daily committed suicide. I remember her station was next to mine, and we worked together daily. This was not the first time I knew of a soldier committing suicide, but this one was the one that made me want to do something.”
