The Instructors are responsible for the instructional content of the training, quality of presentation of information and sharing their life stories as they apply to the Military Behavioral Health Training Program.
The goal of the peer program is to match veterans who have been through the training program with veterans who have returned from service so they can take steps to reduce or even eliminate the negative impact that trauma-related symptoms have on social, occupational and family functioning.
The Joseph P. Dwyer Peer-to-Peer Mentoring program is free, confidential, and provides veterans with a safe place to share in a non-judgmental setting.
The program also offers services specific to women veterans and referrals for a variety of services.
