This 2-hour interactive webinar equips school professionals, counselors, and community partners with the tools needed to effectively support veterans and military-connected youth. Participants will explore the unique mental health challenges faced by veterans and their families, examine how these experiences affect students in educational settings, and learn trauma-informed, culturally responsive strategies that can be implemented in schools. Through real-life case studies, evidence-based practices, and collaborative discussion, attendees will deepen their understanding of military culture, intergenerational resilience, and the critical role educators play in bridging service and support.
