Walking the Talk: Give an Hour was created in 2005 by clinical psychologist, Dr. Van Dahlen, who believed that mental health professionals would be willing to volunteer their time to help Veterans who didn’t want to use/or were not near VA mental health services. Her volunteer-staff of 14 people (mostly military spouses) have created a network of 6,000 mental health professionals around the country, who have given 400,000 hours of their professional time.

The Virtual In-State Tuition Map was a collaborative project between the Student Veterans of America, VFW, and American Legion and was officially launched this morning. The map indicates which states (green) have legislation or higher education policies allowing Veterans (and sometimes their family members) to pay in-state tuition rates, which is helpful to those making educational decisions. Arizona is green! States with pending legislation (yellow) and those who do not show significant movement toward this policy are shown in red, with details.
