Best Practice Guide.
One of the biggest things I hear is "They don't get me" or "They speak a different language to me" or " They don't understand how the Army works" I understand that, I have felt that way sometimes too. This program is designed specifically for the services providing support to Military & Veteran communities.
The Best Practice guide was developed through working with & mentoring Service Members and Military Veterans. It is intended to provide assistance to professionals who engage with & provide care via the CHANGED Program © as an Intervention. It enhances the ability of Serving Members and our Veterans to engage and remain in a therapeutic relationship with support services. The Best Practice guide can be used and sections of it can be incorporated into the individuals care plan following an assessment of needs carried out within the program.
We need to ensure and assure this community that seeking support & accepting support will not be viewed negatively. And those providing care for them understand their language.
Where a meaningful engagement is provided a relationship between the individual and the support service will grow. This enhances the ability of the individual to overcome and respond to whatever issues they present with.
