V-SRG Invisible Wounds of War & Suicide Prevention
April 17, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm CDT
The Invisible Wounds of War are all too real in our military and veteran families, and it can be hard for those outside of this community to understand just how much they impact individuals, relationships and families. Join your fellow military and veteran spouses/partners to discuss how trauma can impact an individual, whether that be a service member, veteran, spouse, partner, or anyone in your life.
This session comes from our Veteran Spouse Resiliency Group curriculum and will lead participants through a discussion of the particular types of trauma one can experience while serving in the military, and that can impact both their partner and family. Additionally, this session explores suicidality and equips participants with a tool to engage in a conversation with someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This session is about building our toolkit – equipping ourselves with information and tools to address trauma, both individually, and with those we care for.
Note: To be eligible for this group you must be a spouse or committed partner of a post-service veteran, or active duty service member. If you have been a past participant in the V-SRG program, you are still eligible to join any of these sessions.
Make sure to check out our other social club opportunities on Eventbrite, as eligibility varies from chat to chat.
Once registered, on the morning of the event, you will be emailed a Zoom invite to join via computer, tablet, or phone. Once registered, you will also be able to access the Zoom information by viewing the event’s Online Event Page. The Online Event Page can be accessed by clicking the “View the event” button in your order confirmation email, OR by selecting the “Access this event” button on the right-hand side of this page.
Since we will be talking at times about our personal lives and families, we ask that participants attend the virtual session from a room where privacy can be maintained, or utilize headphones. We ask that you please join the chat at the scheduled start time. If you join later than 15 minutes, the leader reserves the right to not admit you into the session if they feel it will disrupt the group. If no one joins the chat within the first 15 minutes, the leader may cancel the chat.
