As veterans, we know firsthand the impact of military service and the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life. We're committed to providing customized treatment options designed for military experiences at Diamond House. Let us help you navigate this journey towards healing: https://bit.ly/3R7Mvi3

Governments often provide little support to those who serve their country. It is important for politicians to remember those who dedicate their lives to difficult, especially those who are adversely affected. Families of those serving provide support to the public servants and deserve consideration as well. Quality of life, mental health, physical health, and sustainable income should all be examined. Military veterans have been noticeably mentioned as needing this care, but we have other individuals and their families who should also be supported. Teachers are often placed into situations where mental stress and exhaustion may likely occur because of large class sizes, behavioral issues, learning deficiencies, and a large amount of bureaucratic documentation. Library staff often support demanding and needy patrons, have an expanding role as the result of community needs (often not related to their original training), receive insufficient training in technology and other fields, have too large a proportion of their work time in face-to-face interactions with the public, and have work schedules that fail to consider quality of life. Those individuals in the public finance sector often are in the position of too little public funds available for the desired amount of service needs. Insufficient monetary awards and little oversight may lead to embezzlement or simply giving in those with the most power and not providing the best services to the community as a whole. Feel free to add to the conversation of how we need to support other public servants. Kudos to Aruna Miller, Gov. Wes Moore, and the state of Maryland for focusing on our public servants. #publicservice #qualityoflife #mentalhealth #healthcare #familyhealth #compensationandbenefits #governance #governancematters #localgovernment #stategovernment #federalgovernment #maryland

Communication capabilities won’t matter if HSA doesn’t begin to convince the industry to do work under the GHC program. There are bigger issues at hand here right now than the communication capabilities. Let’s start with ensuring we have the capacity and quality service ready first. Besides, chat, text, email and phone are not new capabilities to celebrate.

Proud to have completed the Career Transition Strategies Course instructed by Noël McCall and sponsored by Patriots Path, Inc. The course was incredibly informational and the content provided exceeded my expectations. It was a humbling experience for me to realize that as much as I thought I knew with my experience as a hiring manager and with the advice I would give coaching/mentoring members of my teams to land their next roles and advance careers, just how much more there was to learn. Noel is an excellent instructor with a wealth of knowledge. She also demonstrates a passion for helping members of the military community (active duty, veterans, and military spouses) like me during our transitions no matter when we served and what capacity we served in. If you are a veteran, active duty service member, or military spouse located (or willing to travel) in the Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) area and you are looking for assistance in the following areas: * Career planning/assessment * Resume-writing * Identifying your non-negotiables * LinkedIn tips * Networking * Informational interviews * Interview Prep * Researching companies * Identifying references * Elevator pitch refinement * Identifying/Negotiating your salary/worth I recommend registering ASAP to take her course next week, 14 - 18 August. I am surprised that there are seats left to fill - and highly recommend that you register now! For my network: If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to me. Please like, tag, and comment for reach to open the opportunity to someone in your network who may be looking for assistance during their career transition. #veteranshelpingveterans #vhv #veteranresources #patriotspath #hiremilitary #vets2industry #uso #hireveterans

As we approach Veterans Day, I want to recognize the sacrifices our veterans have made to protect our freedom while they served our country. But for many U.S. veterans, leaving military service can bring big changes, both personally and financially. Getting a handle early on your money situation, and the benefits available, can help ease the transition. Here are somethings to consider as you make the transition to civilian life. https://mgstn.ly/3FSVs8Q

The Life of a Military Brat: Resilience and Self-Sufficiency Growing up as a military brat comes with its unique set of challenges and experiences. The term "military brat" is a badge of honor among the children of military personnel, symbolizing the unique culture and community they share. These children often move frequently, attend multiple schools, and face long periods of separation from their deployed parents. It's a lifestyle that shapes them in profound ways. One of the most significant aspects of being a military brat is the development of resilience. The constant changes and uncertainties teach these children to adapt quickly to new situations, be it a new school, new friends, or a new home. They learn to cope with the absence of a parent, which, while painful, instills in them a level of independence and strength that serves them well into adulthood. Self-sufficiency is another trait that military brats often develop early on. With one parent frequently away on deployment and the other managing the household, these children learn to take on responsibilities beyond their years. They become adept at problem-solving, often taking care of younger siblings, and contributing to the household in meaningful ways. Despite the hardships, there are also positive aspects to this lifestyle. Military brats are exposed to diverse cultures and people, which can foster a sense of open-mindedness and acceptance. They often have a strong sense of community, as military families tend to form close bonds, supporting each other through the ups and downs of military life. The experience of growing up in a military family is unique and shapes individuals in lasting ways. The resilience and self-sufficiency developed through this lifestyle are invaluable traits that help these individuals navigate the complexities of life with confidence. While the challenges are real, so too is the strength and camaraderie that come from being part of the military community. It's a life that forges individuals who are ready to face the world head-on, with a spirit of perseverance and a heart full of courage. I am proud to be a member of this tribe!
