military trauma therapist Elizabeth Stinson helps soldiers obtain discharges from the military

Host Stephanie Potter talks with Portland resident Elizabeth Stinson about her work as a military trauma therapist. Stinson uses her expertise with military regulations and her counseling and diplomacy skills to advise soldiers and their families on their options for obtaining administrative discharges from the military. So far Elizabeth has succeeded in helping some 1700 soldiers to leave the military.  She served in California as the director of the Peace and Justice Center of Sonoma County, and was recipient of the 2006 Visionary Peacemaker Award from the Agape Foundation and the honoree  of the 2008 Jack Green Civil Liberties Award with the American Civil Liberties Union.
