Many veterans face unique challenges and struggles as they transition back into civilian life, and having a resource fair allows them to connect with organizations and individuals who understand their experiences and can provide them with the support they need. By bringing together a diverse group of organizations and resources, veterans can find all the help they need in one place. Overall, this resource fair for veterans is a valuable opportunity to show support and gratitude for those who have served our country and to help them succeed in their post-military lives.
Guest Speaker:
TJ Erhardt
Tim Erhardt, LCSW: I have been a mental health and addiction therapist for the last 16 years. For the last 8, I focused on PTSD and the treatment of PTSD. I am currently certified in the following trauma treatments: prolonged exposure therapy, EMDR, and TF-CBT therapy. I have gained extensive experience working with active-duty military and veterans who have struggled with PTSD and participated in trauma and addiction treatment. I have presented at military, social work, and substance use disorder conferences throughout the country as well as taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels throughout the last 12 years.
