VA VITAL
Many Veterans enter college and university life directly out of the military. This is a significant life transition, and most people need time to adjust to the new setting, culture, and experiences of campus life. This transition is more difficult for some Veterans than for others. They may need more help with physical or mental health issues or with the practical aspects of transitioning to this new environment. That’s where VITAL can help.
The Veterans Integration to Academic Leadership (VITAL) program strives to enhance academic retention and success through:
- On-campus clinical care and coordination
- Improving understanding of Veterans' unique strengths and challenges through education and training delivered to the campus community
- Collaborating with the local VA medical center, the Veterans Benefits Administration, campus faculty and staff members, and community resources
Dr. Brian Livesay, Ph.D., is a dedicated clinical psychologist with extensive experience in veteran mental health, trauma, and developmental psychology. His military service provides a unique perspective that informs the support he provides. He is on campus at the VSC on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Come on into the center and let us help you get connected with Brian.
M2VA
Post-9/11 Military2VA (M2VA) Case Management programs help bridge the gap between the DoD and VHA to support transitioning service members & Post-9/11 era Veterans.
Ms. Natalie Jones serves our veteran community by aiding transitioning service members and Veterans to receive the care and support they need as they transition from military to civilian life. She can help service members and veterans navigate and connect with VA and community resources. Come on into the center and let us help you connect with Natalie.
