Making the transition back to civilian life after serving can be a difficult challenge, especially for the younger generations who have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
The lack of access to adequate transitional services presents them with challenges, like finding employment and adjusting to the social environment of the civilian world. Many are ill-equipped to handle these challenges and in many cases, are unwilling (or don’t know how) to seek assistance.
Currently there is no existing training to address the psychological factors of transitioning from military-to-civilian life. The reality of today is that many veterans are experiencing failure such as drug and alcohol addictions, family problems, unemployment, homelessness, and criminal behavior.
