Ever needed to brush up some certain skill sets but didn’t have the access to the courses? It is especially hard for certain people that do not have the time much less the access. This is where PsychArmor can bridge that gap. I have taken a few at this point and still working on taking more of the courses offered. No time constraints, no fees, no babysitters, just you and a few minutes by yourself. Hey, I managed to take most while just sitting in my recliner watching Dusty do one of his daily activities or reading the newspaper. I plugged in a set of headphones, put one of them in my ear so I had the other ear open to hear Dusty.

Some of these you may already feel like you know most of what it is to know, then others may find a few things they were unaware of.

This is the cornerstone course for PsychArmor and was created to educate anyone who works with, lives with, or cares for our military Veterans. PsychArmor asked hundreds of Veterans what they wanted civilians, employers, educators, health care providers, and therapists to know about them. These comments were used to create the topics of this course including 5 Questions You Should Always Ask Veterans, 1 Question You Should Never Ask Veterans, and 15 Facts that promote greater understanding of our Veterans.
