Colleges and universities have a unique ability to reach Veterans where they are as the Post-9/11 GI Bill brings student Veterans to campuses in record numbers.
If you interact with student Veterans in or out of the classroom, you can support their mental health. Understanding the challenges and opportunities that student Veterans face can improve communication and help build trust and understanding, enhancing their academic experience. In addition, connecting student Veterans to the resources they need can make a real difference in their well-being.
