While military service often fosters resilience in individuals and families, some may experience mental health or substance use challenges. Mental Health First Aid for Veterans-Military focuses on the unique experiences and needs of the military, veteran, and family population. This training also includes Conversations on Access to Lethal Means (CALM Conversations) with VSN staff member and trainer Ashley Craig.

The VSN is excited to partner with My Vinyasa Practice for an in-person event in Austin, TX, where participants can experience the restorative magic of gentle stretching and sound healing. In this class, you can expect to be guided through mindful breathing and gentle movements to ground your mind, body, and spirit. As you explore restorative shapes, bask in the soothing sound of the crystal singing bowls. This unique experience will leave you feeling relaxed and restored.

The South Texas Research Organizational Network Guiding Studies on Trauma and Resilience, or STRONG STAR, is a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional research consortium funded by the U.S. Departments of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA) and other agencies to develop and evaluate the most effective early interventions possible for the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of psychological health conditions in military personnel, veterans, and first responders.
Military service provides unique experiences and can impact anyone who serves – or loves someone who serves – in different ways. Hope for Heroes supports healing and restores hope for veterans and military individuals, and their spouses and children. Hope for Heroes now includes help for first responders too.
We believe no matter what you’ve experienced, or where you come from, or where you are at in life – you are always more resilient than you think, and your best days can still be ahead of you.
In 2013, Recovery Resource Council launched Enduring Families, a program which provides outpatient counseling and support services for returning military veterans and their family members. This program targets the veteran family’s unique needs ranging from coping with symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety and addiction to teaching effective decision-making, parenting and communication skills. Services in this program are provided at no cost to the family or the veteran.
The Steven A.
