Psychological Needs of Returning Veterans

February 5, 2009

Horizontal Tabs

Overview

Over forty-six thousand veterans have returned from the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and are eligible for GI educational benefits. Many of those will start or return to college. Returning veterans have different psychological needs than other non-traditional students, and campus support services need to be aware of these needs so they can effectively respond to and retain these students.

This on-demand web conference details what campus professionals need to know about the emotional needs of veterans in order to help them complete their education. Topics include:

Understanding psychological disorders relevant for returning veterans
Ways to effectively intervene before veterans leave campus
Techniques for addressing the needs of students who are spouses of returning veterans
Practices for coordinating efforts with the local VA office

TARGET AUDIENCE

Counseling services directors, campus mental health professionals, campus clergy, AOD counselors, and administrators in student services will learn about the unique needs of returning veterans and how to begin to address them with the goal of keeping them on campus.
