Join the Wounded Warrior Project, Brookings, and Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, this Friday afternoon for a discussion on the most pressing issues facing America’s servicemembers and veterans. 

The needs of America’s post-9/11 veterans

https://connect.brookings.edu/register-to-watch-veterans-needs

Friday, September 25, 2020, 2:00 - 3:15 p.m. EDT ​(11:00 AM - 12:15 PM PDT)
Online: https://www.brookings.edu/events/the-policy-needs-of-americas-veterans 

Since 9/11, more than 3 million Americans have served in uniform. As of September 8, 2020, the Defense Department reports that 6,841 have died and 52,441 service members have been wounded in action. Yet, this is just a fraction of those who are estimated to have been adversely impacted by the longest wars in American history. The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center reports that more than 413,858 have sustained traumatic brain injuries, and RAND estimates that, “Nearly 20 percent of military service members who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or major depression.” In addition, 6 million veterans have been affected by toxic exposures. As the numbers of killed and wounded decline and the public’s interest and involvement wanes, the need for services and support continues to grow.
 
On September 25, the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) and the Brookings Institution will unveil the results of WWP’s 11th Annual Warrior Survey and host a  discussion about the most pressing issues facing America’s servicemembers and veterans. Experts will explore how veterans have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, toxic exposures, military sexual trauma, access to health care, and more.
 
Viewers can submit questions by emailing events@brookings.edu or by joining the conversation on Twitter with #VeteransSurvey.
 
Discussion on survey results
Tom Kastner, Vice President of Financial Wellness, Wounded Warrior Project
Melanie Mousseau, Director, Program Metrics, Wounded Warrior Project
Jen Silva, Chief Program Officer, Wounded Warrior Project
Moderator: Michael O’Hanlon, Senior Fellow and Co-Director, Security and Strategy, The Brookings Institution

TO GUIDE VETERANS IN MINDFULNESS PRACTICES THAT EMPOWER THEM TO BE FREE, BE WELL, AND BE WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.

BE FREE

Reclaim your power, clarity, and ability to make wise choices so you’re never a victim.

BE WELL

Discover the tools and resources to move out of “surviving” mode and into “thriving” mode.

BE WHOLE

Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.

MVP Philosophy

We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.

We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.

We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

NON-JUDGMENT
PATIENCE
BEGINNER’S MIND
TRUST AS SELF-RELIANCE
OPEN-MINDED EFFORT
EMPOWERED CHOICE
ACCEPTANCE
LETTING GO / LETTING BE
SENSE OF HUMOR

MVP Practice

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.

We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.

We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

MVP 

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgment as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.

We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

MVP Practice

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

TO GUIDE VETERANS IN MINDFULNESS PRACTICES THAT EMPOWER THEM TO BE FREE, BE WELL, AND BE WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.

BE FREE

Reclaim your power, clarity, and ability to make wise choices so you’re never a victim.

BE WELL

Discover the tools and resources to move out of “surviving” mode and into “thriving” mode.

BE WHOLE

Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.

MVP Philosophy

We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.

We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.

We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

NON-JUDGMENT
PATIENCE
BEGINNER’S MIND
TRUST AS SELF-RELIANCE
OPEN-MINDED EFFORT
EMPOWERED CHOICE
ACCEPTANCE
LETTING GO / LETTING BE
SENSE OF HUMOR

MVP 

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgment as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

MVP 

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgment as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

BE WHOLE

Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.

MWP Philosophy

We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.

We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.

We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

NON-JUDGMENT
PATIENCE
BEGINNER’S MIND
TRUST AS SELF-RELIANCE
OPEN-MINDED EFFORT

ACCEPTANCE
LETTING GO / LETTING BE
SENSE OF HUMOR

MWP Practice

MWP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

We do this by meeting people where they are, regardless of religious background, affiliation or belief in God or not.  All are welcome to join and connect with us.

TO GUIDE VETERANS IN MINDFULNESS PRACTICES THAT EMPOWER THEM TO BE FREE, BE WELL, AND BE WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.

BE FREE

Reclaim your power, clarity, and ability to make wise choices so you’re never a victim.

BE WELL

Discover the tools and resources to move out of “surviving” mode and into “thriving” mode.

BE WHOLE

Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.

MWP Philosophy

We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.

We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.

We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

MVP Practice

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgment as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

Individual veterans, veteran-serving non-profits, and veteran-community organizations are HIGHLY encouraged to attend this monthly event to stay up-to-date with the most critical veteran information both locally and nationally.

MWP Practice

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations.

TO GUIDE VETERANS IN MINDFULNESS PRACTICES THAT EMPOWER THEM TO BE FREE, BE WELL, AND BE WHOLE IN THEIR DAILY LIVES.

BE FREE

Reclaim your power, clarity, and ability to make wise choices so you’re never a victim.

BE WELL

Discover the tools and resources to move out of “surviving” mode and into “thriving” mode.

BE WHOLE

Empower yourself to fully participate in your own healing, well-being, and highest quality of life experience.

MVP Philosophy

We support and teach an orientation to life of being with whatever is happening for you in this moment – nothing to change or do other than just be with what is.

We encourage a turning towards any pain/trauma that you have experienced, and in that turning, beginning to see your experiences in a new way.

We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

MVP Practice

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

We guide you in the growth process of becoming empowered by all of your experiences – past, present, and future.

MVP Practice

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgement as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

EVENT DETAILS - SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - Please see other MVP virtual events on our calendar or on their website.

MVP 

MVP defines mindfulness as paying attention to present moment experiences (physical, mental, emotional, environmental), while suspending as much judgment as possible to explore with openness and curiosity, without trying to fix or change anything, and accepting – without necessarily approving of – and being able to simply be with what is discovered.

Mindfulness provides effective, simple, secular evidence-based tools that empower you to change your relationship to unwanted thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It offers the possibility of no longer reacting to them in an automatic way, but rather of having the choice and ability to skillfully respond to them with acceptance and compassion.

Our approach to mindfulness is the most accessible and effective practice that we are aware of. It is so simple that, literally, a child can do it! At its core, it involves bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment ~ in a nearly endless number of ways ~ both inside (physical sensations, emotions, thoughts) &/or outside (environment, other people), noticing when you get distracted, and then gently bringing your attention back to where you’ve chosen. It can be done on the bus, in the park, in your office, or wherever you may find yourself. Come join us at upcoming Events and we will guide you through a variety of mindfulness practices that you can then use in your daily life.

Every second Tuesday of the month.

Get help for topics such as: Expungements, Discharge Upgrades, Veterans Benefits, Immigration, Bankruptcy, Landlord-Tenant, Consumer Law, Nonprofit Assistance, Estate Planning, Small Business Assistance
