NOW: RSVP for VOA's Moral Injury Workshops ~ Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant

It’s not PTSD but it’s close. Moral injury is the complex soul wound that occurs when a person perpetrates, witnesses, or fails to prevent acts that transgress one’s own moral beliefs, values, or ethical codes of conduct. It can also occur as betrayal by an authority figure. This may cause feelings of grief, guilt, shame, and betrayal that can lead to substance abuse, self-condemnation, relationship issues and suicide. We want you to know -you are not alone. We can help. Moral Injury Peer to Peer Group starting in LATE September 2024 (Missoula Area). 90 minutes a week for 8-12 weeks. It is free. For more info, call Breanna 406-529-1857, Breanna.Rodriguez@voanr.org

9/2 (Every Monday): Veterans Treatment Court, Missoula County Courthouse (3rd Floor), 200 W. Broadway, Missoula, 2pm

The PUBLIC IS WELCOME! The program is for Veterans charged with a crime who have serious treatment issues that contributed to their involvement in the criminal justice system and are most often related to their military experience. The Missoula Veterans Court accepts Veterans regardless of discharge (misdemeanors, felony, violent). Most Veterans are receiving counseling at Vet Center or CBOC and have a mentor. Usually they cannot get expungements of old crimes, but they may be able to get a sentence reduced during the probationary period if they go through the yearlong program.

· Interested in being a mentor? Mentors are Veterans who served in the military that are willing to spend time helping a fellow Veteran as a “trusted friend.” The mentor attends court appearances with the participant, meets with their Veteran at least once a week, and helps their participant deal with the rigors of the treatment program by getting them hooked up with supportive services (housing, employment, etc.). Learn more: https://www.missoulacounty.us/government/civil-criminal-justice/district-court/veterans-treatment-court

For more information about Veterans Court or to sign up for a future training, contact Veteran Court Coordinator, Richard “Rick” Reed (406) 258-4725, Richard.Reed@mt.gov OR Kristian Richardson - MENTOR & Vice Commander, American Legion District 6 of Montana 406-595-6218, kristian.richardson@gmail.com
