Greetings Listeners,
Welcome back to the VCA / TA podcasts.
We are kicking off the podcasts from TA20 with VCA President Padre Gary Stone.
Gary talks about how the Timor Awakening program has been redefined allowing 'mentees' to learn how to become peer mentors.
He talks about how peer mentors can be the absolute exponential factor in veteran health space, given how much veterans will open up to other veterans.
The purpose of the Timor Awakening program is and always has been to change the paradigm of veteran health from the sickness model that focuses on the problem, to a growth model focusing on health.
One of the key points is how peer mentors can focus on triage or conducting a quick assessment for a veteran, before referring them on to a specialist where required.
Looking ahead, Gary also touches on that is in the pipeline for 2022 programs in the second half of the year, as well as what is coming up in 2023.
Cheers for the updates Gary
Enjoy
VCA Team
