Building Military Cultural Competency: A Training Program for Higher Education Health and Wellness Personnel.
**This training serves to promote military cultural competence in higher education for campus professionals working with military-affiliated students.
This training is intended for:
• Professionals working in campus medical/health, counseling, career, or disability services
• Other professionals interested in learning more about working with military-affiliated students
The learning objectives for our training are as follows:
• Understanding military culture, how it differs from the culture of higher education, and the impact of these two different cultures on military students
• Understand military students’ perceptions of their strengths and weaknesses and their needs on campus
• Understand military students’ help-seeking attitudes behaviors and decision-making processes, including barriers and access points
• Consider how they can use this information to build engagement and outreach strategies with military students
