Working with Veterans 101: an arts-based workshop for civilian allies
This workshop is centered around building beneficial veteran-civilian relationships. We explore participant's perceptions about and relationships with veterans. We utilize creative writing/art-making, dialogue, participatory learning and active listening processes, as well as, the artwork of Veteran artists to guide our discussions. Some areas of learning & investigation include: veterans’ issues and experiences, PTSD, challenges/benefits of working with veterans, and specific information about healthy ways of engaging veterans. This workshop will provide a foundation from which civilian allies can build healthy and sustainable relationships with veterans and move toward creative collaboration.
We require anybody interested in facilitating Warrior Writers workshops to attend this training, so they can lead it in the future, including veterans. You could also host this as cultural competency training and/or for university or organizational personnel who want to or already work with veterans.
While this is valuable training that we usually charge for, we are offering this session for free right now; however, we do welcome donations of any amount, as many funding sources have been cut.
