About the Course
Whole Health is the VA’s new approach to working with veterans and centers around what matters to a veteran, not what is the matter with a veteran. At WarriorNOW we use this training as a way to give our Mentors more skills to deploy when they are working with a fellow veteran, especially when they are in crisis. Whole Health training is encouraged for all WarriorNOW mentors and is required for any mentor interested in facilitating Buddy Check or other peer-led groups. This course is also a required course for some upcoming paid positions with WarriorNOW.
