Join Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center, the Long Island Sound Study and Connecticut Sea Grant for a guided hike around Barn Island Wildlife Management Area to look for winter waterfowl and other feathered friends. 

This webinar provides 2 hours of content on practice with Veterans. While the U.S. is seeing increased attention paid to the mental health, substance abuse, and suicide issues within the military and veteran communities, there is also increased concern about our nation's capacity to provide the services needed. More and more veterans are obtaining mental health care in the civilian sector, but frequently community clinicians have a limited understanding of military and veteran culture. To assist in developing a therapeutic rapport with veterans and service members, trainer Chris Morse LICSW, MVF-ASW, has drawn on his own military and clinical experience to develop this webinar. Chris will provide clinicians with an overview of military culture, norms, and mores and explore how military life and the combat environment may shape the presentation of the client throughout treatment.
