Hi, I’m Linda, the Veterans Upward Bound contact on the Verde Valley campus and the newest addition to the VUB team, and I’ll be your blog host. I’ve been learning a lot about resources for veterans and their families and will try to share what I find with you here. Please let me know if you have resources that you’d like to share also. You can contact me via e-mail: linda.evans@yc.edu with any ideas.
One of my challenges with the VUB program here has been how to get the word out to the right people, so any suggestions you have are welcome. I hope those of you that have participated in the VUB modules will share your experience and your successes with others, and spread the word. Speaking of sharing, here’s some resources for military benefit information:
http://www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil/ gives information on education and a variety of other supports and resources for military families.
http://www.militaryonesource.mil gives resources on education, financial concerns; also available by phone 24/7.
http://www.militarymentalhealth.org provides resources and anonymous screening questions, if you are concerned about the well-being of someone you know.
For current Yavapai College veteran students, please consider joining forces with the Veteran Connection club! Get more info at: VeteranConnection@yc.edu
See you in the blogosphere, or on campus!
