Veteran Training

Parenting for Veterans is an updated version of the Parenting for Service Members and Veterans Course. The updated version was built by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) providing a free online site for military and Veteran parents with information and strategies to improve their parenting skills. The original course was built by the VA Mental Health Services in partnership with the Department of Defense National Center for Telehealth and Technology (T2) as part of a coordinated public health initiative to help Veterans and Service Members who are having difficulties.

We gratefully acknowledge our Partner Organizations for their generous contributions to the development of this program:
