Veteran mentorship is one facet of the new Veterans Pretrial Diversion Program, enacted by the Parker County District Attorneyâs Office. Sally Sexton | Weatherford Democrat
Parker County District Attorney Jeff Swain has his thoughts about post traumatic stress disorder in veterans: âIf you go overseas, or wherever you happen to be serving, and you come back with PTSD, you got that PTSD serving our country.â
It was that mindset that made Swain want to help veterans who have entered the court system as a result of those issues, with the creation of the Veteransâ Pretrial Diversion Program.
âIâve been thinking about doing this for quite some time, and once I became elected [in November], I started working on the program,â Swain said. âIf thereâs a way we can help you, thatâs something we want to be able to do is help with the healing process.
