As a Veteran who has made the transition to civilian life, you know how difficult it can be—especially when dealing with issues such as depression or PTSD. We made a commitment while serving to have each other's back. Now there are veterans dealing with the readjustment of returning home. This Peer training can give you the tools to continue to serve, and help a bother or sister.

 

Peer courses are now available online or for groups at your location.
