Veteran College Bound Population II

Last a few weeks ago I posted about my overall concern for Veterans returning to school and college campuses not being prepared for this sudden influx and the unique challenges which they face. Currently, the Veterans Administration has prepared for the influx of student veterans and the psychosocial challenges that they face in academic settings. VA public affairs has announced a new website for college counselors. This website gives essential information to college counselors and students for multiple concerns including PTSD and Suicide Prevention. These resources assist the counselors with tools to work with the student and gives them information so that they can have preventative services as well. Universities and other organizations are extending their services to meet the demands and needs which Veteran students have. For the short term these services are developing and in the days to come, with more quantitative and qualitative research for vocational rehabilitation for Veterans, we will see a marked expansion of services to help Veterans with technical education and training for career advance as well. Educational assistance will ensure that students who begin programs of higher learning will not only complete them but have more success in their fields of study for the long haul.
