A Veteran's Story
Four years ago, John Wilkerson thought he had no future. He’d been suffering from crippling depression, anxiety and ADHD. The undertreated disorders turned his world upside down: his marriage crumbled, he lost his job and he became homeless.
Today, light has returned to Wilkerson’s life, thanks to help from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and EMU’s Lt. Col. Charles S. Kettles Military and Veteran Services Resource Center. Wilkerson is on track to receive a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Eastern. The former U.S. Marine is also helping people overcome similar obstacles he faced.
