Erick Miyares- Sgt Major ( ret) "FROM WORKING IN THE SHADOWS, TO SPEARHEADING VETERAN SUICIDE PREVENTION"

Literally a Real Life "Jason Bourne" It was an honour to speak to a true gentleman Erick Miyares. 



A man who has always worked in the shadows in the service of others and now continues to do so with the “Military Special Operations Collaborative” in helping prevent and stop Veteran Suicide.

If 1 thing we can do can help1 person, then we are doing something right!!

Erick talks about the first time he got shot in battle and the real impact it had on him both psychologically and physically.

After 20 years in Special Operations, and so many of these in combat - and it took it’s toll. Selflessly putting his body and Mental Health second to the mission - he realised that he needed to pay it forward after losing 2 of his “active duty” friends to suicide in one month.

This is a must watch/listen for anyone who is a partner of or actually a military or other high risk person, and needs to understand and learn from veterans who have been in those dark places.

We know how to fix a lot of things with our training and experience, but we cannot bring back someone who has taken their lives.


“TBI’s PTS, Depression, Alcohol, Risky Behaviour that all leads to the tip- which is that suicide” so he has decided to stop veteran suicide and take action himself.



An inspirational show and a real eye opener.
