  2. My name is Christi Wilson. I have recently graduate with a bachelors in applied behavioral science with a minor in criminal justice. I am looking to relocate to Tennessee and would love to use my degree to help Veterans that often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to hide other underlying mental issues. Which they often get criminalized for.
    Can you suggest where I can go to help in this capacity.

    Sincerely
    Christi Wilson
