Includes a Live Web Event on 05/13/2025 at 8:30 AM (EDT)

Only available as part of a package

This workshop will help participants understand the stressors associated with separating or retiring from military service. Attendees will learn about different types of transitions from military service (i.e., separation for cause, separation by choice, medically mandated separations, full retirement) and how these transition stressors vary and may possibly impact mental health. Attendees will learn about challenges associated with mandated and choice-driven military service transitions. The presentation will conclude with a discussion on how social workers and other mental health providers can best support transitioning service members.
