The California Community Colleges Student Mental Health Program, in partnership with Monterey Peninsula College, is now offering the Welcome Home Veterans on Campus training.
This is a 4‐hour, NO‐COST training for faculty and staff at MPC about the specific readjustment and mental health needs of student veterans.
The major objectives of the training are to:
- increase awareness about military culture,
- the transition challenges veterans face when leaving the military,
- and the particular stressors faced by student veterans, including the signs and symptoms of post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and suicide
The training session is designed to help faculty and staff better understand how these conditions might impact student success in the classroom and on campus. This training includes three hours of lecture and one hour dedicated to a panel made up of student veterans.
Who should attend?
Campus staff and faculty, neighboring community colleges, UCs and CSUs, as well as community-based and county mental health organizations.
