Spooner understands first-hand the pain of war , and believes the primary focus in Donald J .

Spooner emphasized , “ The 10-point plan is solid and will definitely make a huge difference . However , it will take years to clean up the internal VA system . Our veterans do not have the time to wait .” It takes a long time for applications to get approved by the government for a facility or provider to take VA benefits , there needs to be a quicker way without having to go through the VA for a veteran to get treatment .
Spooner and the Warriors Heart team are dedicated to raising awareness of the shortage of mental health professionals in the US . The goal is to reduce the average of 20 veteran suicides per day ( used to be 22 ), and 1 Law Enforcement Officer every 60 hours in the U . S . With these unacceptable numbers , Spooner also urges the new administration to fast-track privatization options for veterans .
Warriors Heart is the first and only private treatment center in the U . S . to provide a peer-to peer based solution solely dedicated to warriors to over 13.3 million American Warriors
( Military , Veterans , Law Enforcement and First Responders )
When expanding on President-Elect Trump ’ s 10-point plan , Spooner added , “ The strongest most critical point that I hope President Trump passes in a time-sensitive manner is point 9 .
