War Veterans Group

The Counseling and Human Relations Center will be offering a War Veterans Group to provide PSU students (and possibly some non-students) who are U.S. military veterans of war an opportunity to address issues of coping, stress management, and the aftereffects of their combat and/or non-combat war experiences with other veterans in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment.

The goals of the group include:

• Increased ability to cope effectively with the stress resulting from military/war experience and from readjustment to civilian life
• Development/strengthening of healthy stress management tools
• Mutual support in an environment of peers who have shared war experiences

Group facilitators will be Robert Hlasny, PhD, and Michael Fischler, EdD The support group will start as soon as there are enough members. The meeting time will be determined after considering members' scheduling needs.

If you know students who are war veterans, would you please encourage them to call the Counseling and Human Relations Center at 535-2461 and speak with Terri Johnson, who will schedule an intake assessment to determine if this group might be right for them. Please note that space constraints may limit the size of the group.
