HomeFront Strong and our partners hold workshops, training, seminars, meals, performances, and more—all in line with enhancing resilience and preventing suicide. Both online and in-person, we have workshops and host events for military and veteran families geared towards community building, opportunities for strengthening connections, accessing resources, and learning about trauma & resilience. We also provide workshops for first responders, health care professionals, social workers, therapists, teachers, and others to help them learn about trauma and how to help those who are dealing with it.
veterans mediation
Veterans Mediation includes all those who have seen military service: veterans, National Guard, Reserves, active military, and close family members.
Veterans Mediation de-mystifies powerful mediation skills and puts them in the hands of a population with pronounced moral authority in our society: veterans who help military-connected people. As mediation trainers and mediators, they apply those skills in a broadly democratic way to benefit the communities they serve.
Training options include:
- A 2 hour introductory course
- A 1 day basic skills course
- A 35 hour professional course
"I think every veteran’s director should be taking this course. It got me to understand, when I’m talking to a vet, that there are two sides to the story. It taught me how to talk to the veterans and to really talk to a parent or a spouse, to understand what is really going on. A lot of people don’t really listen. They’re eager to move on. They’re in a hurry."
