​Resilience and Renewal for Veterans

Caring for Veterans can be a challenge for people who've not experienced the situations and traumas particular to military service no matter whether it's "down range" (e.g. combat-related) or stateside. Taking time to become familiar to each veteran's unique experience is essential in order to provide effective care and assistance.

Education

• Identifying stress
  Separating current stress from the leftover burden of hard times in the past; learning to distinguish between negative stress and positive challenges in the present.
• Removing stigma
  Changing the perspective from emotional disease and disorder to the common thread of being human and undergoing adversity.
• Recognizing your resilience
  Going beyond “bouncing back to same old” to moving forward and growing stronger.
  ​

Training

• Anger management
  Working through rage and inappropriate aggression to become assertive; transforming anger into a motivating force for positive change.
• Self-care
  Committing to full-spectrum self-care – physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual – is not selfish, but essential for life success and satisfaction.

​

Coaching

• Reviving hope
  Holding fast to the attitude that good will come, no matter what life throws at you.
• Reentering regular life
  Winning the battle to find your “new normal” in work and relationships.

• Discovering your next (new) mission
  Finding new passion and purpose – you’re not done serving.
