SUMMARY:Behavioral Health Training (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Hooah Am I?  Exploring how confusion of the term “veteran” impacts identity and leads to unnecessary suffering\, increased shame\, and suicide.\nThe presentation will provide education\, a conceptual framework\, and strategies to develop an integrated sense of military identity; one in which a service member feels like they belong both in the Veteran community and within the population as a whole. Overidentification with other Veterans can lead to isolation from the world as a whole (e.g.\, family\, work\, and spirituality) whereas avoidance of one’s own military identity can limit access to pride in service\, camaraderie with other Veterans\, and access to Veteran resources. Even worse\, a Veteran can feel like they do not belong within either community\, Veteran or civilian\, leading to a sense of marginalization\, feeling left out\, and being lost. This is the greatest risk for distress and suicide. This presentation highlights an often-overlooked aspect for suicide risk\, which is a sense of belonging in community. \nContinuing Education Hours: 2.0 \n  \nCLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

SUMMARY:Online Discussion: Veteran Families in America
DESCRIPTION:Online Event: Thursday\, December 5\, 2024\n3 p.m. to 4 p.m. CT \nJoin the RAND Epstein Family Veterans Policy Research Institute and subject-matter experts to discuss veteran families in America. \nREGISTER NOW \nWhen service members leave the military\, they become veterans\, retaining social identities and policy relevance albeit under a different name and government agency. However\, unlike DoD\, VA lacks the statutory authority to provide care or benefits for the bulk of veteran families. While we know a great deal of information about veterans\, little is known about veteran households—even though the members of these households play a critical role in supporting the health and well-being of veterans. The authors of a new RAND report\, Veteran Families in America\, attempt to fill that gap by analyzing data from the American Community Survey\, providing valuable context for understanding the social and economic resource environment of veterans and identifying potential gaps and needs compared with nonveteran families. \nVeteran Families in America \nVeteran households account for around 11 percent of all households in the United States. What is known about these households? And what are the social and economic differences between veteran families and nonveteran families? Download the RAND Report \nPresenter \nDaniel Schwam is a senior quantitative analyst at RAND. Schwam has contributed to several research efforts as a part of RAND’s Veterans Policy Research Institute on topics including veteran housing cost burden\, public perceptions of veterans\, and veteran households. Schwam also contributes to research on drug prices\, military compensation\, military recruiting\, and labor market analysis. He holds a B.S. from the University of Delaware\, and an M.A. in economics from New York University. \nPanelists \nMeg Kabat was selected by Secretary Denis McDonough to serve as the chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in July 2024. In this role\, Kabat helps guide the VA’s mission to serve America’s veterans by directing policy\, strategy\, operations\, and communications in the federal government’s second-largest department. With over 25 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker\, Kabat has worked extensively with veterans\, their families\, caregivers\, and survivors. In 2003\, as a civilian with the U.S. Navy\, Kabat served as a social worker and case manager at the National Naval Medical Center. Kabat has received numerous awards\, including a Special Recognition Award from Disabled American Veterans\, a VA Exemplary Service Award\, and a VA Exceptional Service Award. Kabat holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the College of the Holy Cross and a Master of Social Work from the Catholic University of America. \nLee Kelley became the principal director of the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy in 2024.

Kelley enlisted in the U.S. Army after 9/11 and served for over five years as a broadcast journalist\, reporting on military stories worldwide.
