Since 2011, the WDVA Veteran Training Support Center (VTSC) has trained thousands of providers with a focus on enhancing their knowledge and ability to effectively serve and care for Veterans.
“WDVA is thrilled to have been selected as a contractor for this important program,” said Abuoh Neufville, WDVA Assistant Director for Veteran Services Counseling and Wellness. “The VTSC provides important perspectives to service and care providers who interact with Veterans and their families each day. We are grateful to the King County Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy for placing their trust in us to deliver these services.”
The VTSC’s essential function and purpose is advancing the understanding of veterans and their families. VTSC works to achieve this by offering workshops on topics that impact or support this community, including the often-unseen battles with Post Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Moral Injury. VTSC champions a call to action for employers, service providers, and leaders from public, private, and academic organizations to implement innovative best practices. These practices are designed to uplift and empower veterans as they navigate their personal journeys, academic endeavors, and professional aspirations.
VTSC actively seeks the collaboration of subject matter experts to lead workshops, available both in-person and online, to share insights and strategies that support our veterans’ growth and success. Workshops are provided at no cost to attendees.
Accredited by the American Psychological Association, VTSC also provides continuing education for behavioral health professionals.
The King County Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy announced two successful grantees for Veteran Provider Training Supports, WDVA and Minority Veterans of America for the grant period beginning September 1, 2024, and ending December 31, 2026.
