WHAT'S NEW

Hello fellow Veterans,

We know that these times are difficult, stressful and awkward. Facing uncertainty can take its toll on us all, and while we are sometimes comforted by the idea that we are going through this together, sometimes we need more than that. We’ve wrangled together a few resources for you that may be helpful.

The Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion [HEDI] office offers online resources and they also host various sessions like the weekly Thursday sessions. Please visit the site and explore all of things that the HEDI office has available to you. But wait! There’s more…

Did you know that this pandemic can be a traumatic and scary event? It’s true – so, we wanted to bring these additional resources regarding post-traumatic stress that may help. We will continue to bring you additional resources as we find them, or when we are given a tip about something that has been helpful to others.

Please share with us anything that you know of or have found that has proven helpful to you – the more that we share with each other means that we may be helping someone navigate their way through a difficult time in their lives.
