This course will be updated or discontinued on or before Friday, September 4, 2026

Outcomes:
92% of participants will know how to care for veterans and their families.

We need awareness of the mental and emotional toll serving in the military brings to the service people and their families who serve and protect our lives and our country. As active service transforms into the status of being an honored veteran, emotional and mental trials increase rather than decrease. Returning to a life where those around you have no clue about the hardships and dangers that were once your daily fare and remain ever present, just in the background. Some visible, most hidden, memories and habits may be soul-shattering, enough to fracture and break the minds of many veterans and all too many family members to whom the strain is an unwanted new companion. From awareness can spring hope, care, and partnership with those who want help to bring back to wholeness from wounds still fresh to them.

• Describe the current state of mental health in military veterans and their families.
