“…Such linkages between higher-education academic institutions and the VA were also discussed by Medley et al (2017). The literature reviewed also reaffirms that more research is needed in this area (Kirchner & Biniecki, 2019).…”

“…Large numbers of people can cause apprehension due to the possibility of unwanted physical contact (Hammond, 2017;Mayo Clinic, 2022). The presentation style and subject matter within the curriculum are not always considered by the instructors and could negatively affect student veterans with PTSD, which was reflected in Kirchner and Biniecki (2019). A student veteran seeing a representation of military service during a presentation can be quite a powerful trigger.…”

“…However, if available, student veterans may not know where to find PTSD support facilities at their academic institution. The availability of information that informs veterans about such support services can be an effective tool when choosing an academic institution (Kirchner & Biniecki, 2019;Young & Phillips, 2019), and knowing where to go to receive that support can be a valuable resource for student veterans. However, it is unclear where student veterans can seek such assistance on campus or if these resources are not currently commonly available in traditional academic institutions (Osborne, 2016;Taylor et al, 2016).…”

“…Falkey (2016) conducted a qualitative study centered on the veteran to student transition and integration into academic life and identified veteran-friendly institutions. However, it is unclear whether higher-education institutions are prepared to meet the support needs of student veterans with PTSD (Gordon et al, 2016;Kirchner & Biniecki, 2019). Student veterans with PTSD often have memory issues and must perform individual learning rituals to succeed, including counseling sessions or relaxationtherapy techniques to treat their symptoms and effects.…”

Veterans are becoming a growing percentage of the total student population of the United States, and many have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, veterans will be more likely to succeed when attending an academic institution that meets their unique needs. This study is an internet survey of 80 academic institutions' home pages and the links therein for available PTSD support and mental healthcare coordination with the Veterans Administration (VA). The purpose of this study was to provide a sample of what PTSD support is listed as available on campus and whether coordination with the VA is listed as an available resource at academic institutions. Identifying the types of academic institutions that best meet the needs of student veterans will allow them to consider an academic institution where they are supported, therefore, enabling them to succeed. Of the 80 institutions surveyed, eight declared themselves to be veteran friendly. Three institutions posted available mental health enrollment with the VA or listed VA counseling services available on campus. The data indicated an inconsistency of available, coordinated support with the VA available on campus. This study adds information on the state of PTSD support in the traditional academic environments. However, more research is necessary to identify available PTSD support at traditional and nontraditional academic institutions.

“…The career transition of United States military service members into the civilian workforce is often met with interpersonal conflict and psychological distress (Ainspan, Penk, & Kearney, 2018; Kirchner, & Yelich Biniecki, 2019; Stern 2017; Wilson, 2014). Transition can be interpreted as the distinct period of reintegration into civilian society that a military service member experiences when their military career ends.…”

Veteran‐civilian career identity conflict: What is human resource development's role?

New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development

The United States military is one of the most notable developers of civilian workforce talent. Yet, approximately one third of post 9/11 veterans retain a personal narrative of military identity that they often find conflicts with civilian society—and as a result, with a civilian career. Earlier studies on veteran career transition have emphasized the need to better understand and deconstruct this transition process for human resource development (HRD). Schlossberg's adult transition theory was used to highlight the argument that HRDs role is to reduce transitional barriers and promote transition strategies. Four heuristics are offered as a basis for organizing the HRD practitioners’ role in veteran‐civilian career identity conflict: (a) you belong here, (b) you are valued here, (c) you are safe here, and (d) you can thrive here. We close with a discussion for practitioners and future research.
