Helping Veterans Develop Resiliency in Mind, Body and the Spirit of Community Service

1. MIND: Three resiliency workshops:

• Orientation workshop: Students/Veterans learn how to identify leadership traits from their military service and apply them as "tools," using four resiliency strengths, to meet challenges in three key areas at school: navigating rules and regulations, creating strong social relationships and getting the most out of their academic studies.
• Implementation workshop: In the second workshop a month later, veterans get an opportunity to work with a mentor and gain peer support to put the Action Plans they developed in the first session into practice.
• Sharpening the "Edge" workshop: at the end of the semester participants learn how to focus their to prepare effectively for a job and career in the workplace of the future, including learning how to use additional schooling to help them achieve their goals.
