COMMUNITY EDUCATION
A veteran culture training program for First Responders, Providers, Advocates, Educators, and Employers.

Combat to Community® (C2C) is an accredited curriculum developed by our Policy team that is proven to help providers and advocates:
define how cultural factors of military service may impact the veteran’s transition to their community, education and employment, and their mental and behavioral health;
incorporate new skills to identify and engage veterans;
apply new treatment approaches, practices, and procedures; and
identify veteran-specific resources and referrals.
We can tailor the content and length of the trainings to the audience, requested topics, and number of attendees. We offer one-time or recurring sessions. Trainings may be presented remotely via Zoom or in person depending on your location.
All the information that detailed the transition from active duty to civilian life was very helpful. It provided a lens for what veterans may be going through as they transition out and helps us to understand the unique challenges they face.
[It was particularly useful learning] how to speak, act, and position myself with someone who is a vet.
All the information presented was useful, and I plan to incorporate some of the material learned from the presentation when working with veterans.
C2C is an interactive, conversational-based training, with presentation, videos, scenario exercises, and interactive discussions. Our instructors are veterans themselves and are able to provide first-hand knowledge of military and veteran experiences.
Topics may include:
The military lifecycle
Key elements of military culture
Deployment and combat experience
Battlemind: the mental orientation developed during military service and combat zone deployment and how it translates to post-deployment issues
Military-connected stress, injuries, and service-connected conditions
Military separation and transition to community, school, and work
Culturally-informed approaches for interacting with veterans
De-escalation and grounding techniques for crisis situations
Accessing care in the community and resources for providers
Veteran subpopulations: women, LGBTQ+veterans, veterans of color, aging veterans, unhoused veterans, veterans involved in the criminal justice system
