Coming Home Well
Coming Home Well is a podcast dedicated to helping Veterans and their families navigate the journey of reintegration and wellness after military service. Hosted by Dr. Tyler Pieron, each episode explores alternative resources and innovative support systems that go beyond traditional approaches to healing the visible and invisible wounds of war.
From non-traditional therapies and community-based programs to expert interviews and practical tools, this podcast serves as a valuable guide for those seeking pathways to improved mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
In addition to spotlighting these resources, Dr. Pieron is occasionally joined by military historians to revisit key moments in our nation's military history—preserving the legacy of service and sacrifice, and providing context that deepens understanding of the Veteran experience.
Whether you're a Veteran, family member, caregiver, or advocate, Coming Home Well offers insights, connections, and tools to support a successful transition to civilian life.
