VETERANS HELPING VETERANS<\/span><\/h4>\n

We have \u201cPeer to Peer\u201d Support where Vets help Vets. Our Veteran Peer Support Specialists have gone through at least two levels of training preparing them for effective Peer Support and Outreach work. In addition to individual support contacts, our Veteran Program staff hold regular Peer Support Groups. Our program of individual support, advice and networking has proven to be extremely valuable and a Vet friendly source of mentorship and guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n

TELEMENTAL HEALTH<\/span><\/h4>\n

For many years our agency has provided our Veterans with access to Veterans Administration Psychologists with special training in treatment for PTSD and other problems that can arise with military service. Five of our community-based clinics are equipped with the secure Telemedicine video connection equipment used by the VA to serve Veterans closer to the Veterans\u2019 own community. The right equipment, local community office sites, technical and Veteran Peer Support Staff \u2013 all come together so that our rural Veterans have more \u201cOpen Doors\u201d to the VA. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n

PTSD FACTS\/INFORMATION<\/span><\/h4>\n

Reliable estimates for PTSD Rates:<\/span>\n\nVietnam between 15% and 30%<\/span>\n\nPersian Gulf War between 9% and 24%<\/span>\n\nIraq and Afghanistan about 12.5%\n<\/span>\n\nFor the 12,171 Vets and their families and friends in the CRCS nine county area, between 1,095 and 3,651 could be contending with the challenges of PTSD.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES<\/span><\/h4>\n

 The Military Veteran Peer Networks\u2019 mission is to establish camaraderie and trust with each other, identifying and vetting community resources and, collectively contributing to the communities where we live. Our goals are to provide one-on-one peer support sessions, Veteran peer groups, Veteran Treatment Court support, to increase access to Military-informed culturally competent mental health providers, and to create an inclusive environment where Service Members, Veterans and Families (SMVF) peers can gather to share experiences and create supportive relationships. Many of these programs cannot be truly successful and accomplished without volunteers to help facilitate them. We know that your time is very important as well as your knowledge. We would like to invite you to share your resources with our community Service Members, Veterans and Families.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
