Piedmont Area Veterans Council and the Department of Veterans Affairs will offer Community Clergy Training Program (CCTP) in Farmville, Virginia on October 8th.
Clergy members and houses of worship are a trusted resource and an important and often first-line contact point for Veterans seeking help. The Community Clergy Training Program is an effort to form partnerships between these important community resources and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
CCTP Training Modules Include:
· Military and civilian culture conflict and the challenges of readjusting to civilian life.
· Common combat and military service-related health concerns.
· Pastoral care for Veterans and their families.
· Working with VA and community mental health care providers.
· Building a network of community support for Veterans and service members.
