SPOTLIGHT: Vets Prevail

Vets Prevail

For our next Spotlight, where we focus on only the best military resiliency, health, and support websites, we are taking an in-depth look at “Vets Prevail”

Vets Prevail is a veteran-owned and operated company and website with an active virtual community, advanced mental health tools, and online training for our Nation’s returning veterans. They “get it” and are committed to providing men and women with what they need to transition back into civilian life.

The community itself features insightful blog posts, forum threads, multimedia and of course, real veterans! After signing up, you are invited to connect with others who’ve had similar experiences or facing the same challenges. Having a network of friends who understand what you are going through is a crucial part of the shift from military service.

That is only a part of the Vets Prevail experience, however. They offer a screening tool (sound familiar?) that will tailor the website’s resources to your individual needs. It’s called “MyPrevail” and it lets you customize the site to best serve you. A truly excellent tool.

AND, if you served for more than 180 days of active-duty service in the United States military then you qualify to receive online training through Vets Prevail. Their training courses are online, allowing you to anonymously build your resiliency in the privacy of your own home. Upon completion, you get a prestigious Prevail medal for your effort!

This is only the tip of the iceberg. There simply is not enough room here to discuss all the aspects of Vets Prevail that we love. Simply put, if you are in the reintegration process, or know someone who is or will be soon, then check out Vets Prevail!

SPOTLIGHT: Military Pathways

Military Pathways

Rather than list a number of valuable resources this week, we’re going to take some time to look at just one in the first of our new “Spotlight” series. The purpose of the Spotlight series is to focus attention on only the best military resiliency, health, and support websites.

That one website is “Military Pathways” and they give phenomenal general screenings that can help you identify if you need guidance about a particular issue and where to seek it.

Simply enter in some demographical information (and remember that this completely anonymous) and then answer a few questions about your mental state and… voila! You’ll get the peace of mind of knowing if you need treatment or not, and if you do, where you can go to get local professional help.

Phenomenal, right? But that’s not all we love about Military Pathways. The videos located in the Learning&Resources section of the site are outstanding.

So, if you are worried that you drink too much, are feeling depressed or anxious, or can’t tell what is bothering you, then think about  Military Pathways as a first step towards making a change!
