VA Integrative Mental Health (IMH) Video Training Series

The VA Integrative Mental Health (IMH) Video Training Series aims to support care providers in their efforts to collaboratively address spiritual and psychosocial needs, build communities of care, nurture integrative practices, and sustain systems of wholistic care. The first in a series of three Bridging Videos from our program addresses the need to consider including spiritual care providers as part of the treatment team to provide holistic, patient-centered care. This video explores the rationale for integrating mental health and chaplain services, presents research findings in the domains of religion, spirituality, and health, and highlights cautionary considerations for interpreting and applying these findings. For more information, please visit our website: https://www.mirecc.va.gov/IMH. VA and DOD providers can follow the instructions provided for each video on how to obtain Continuing Education Credits offered through the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the Association of Social Work Boards ASWB).

Veterans are 10 times more likely to speak with a person of faith than they are with any other person. Click to see why!

Many are aware that many Veterans seek healing through faith, and we are seeking to utilize a network of VMFCs to reach those wounded Veterans. We ask you to develop a Veteran ministry within your congregation. We are currently operating in 26 states and expanding daily. To learn more about the Military Chaplains Association’s VMFC program, click here.

VMFC bootcamps are held on the 3rd Thursday of every three months. Register here.

As a result of the outstanding success of our “Operation Military Masterpiece” initiative at Brown Middle School in Sweetwater, TN, we have developed a new program, “Ethos Student Art (ESA).” The program is available to middle and high schools in Monroe County and the surrounding Counties. Dr. Amber Patty co-developed the ESA program with Vet to Vet TN. It is preferred to have an art teacher teach the class. Click here to view the lesson plan. VTVT will sponsor the class. Helps us teach the kids to have fun and learn about honor, respect, duty, and service.
