Leading Veterans: Practical Strategies for Supporting Mental Health at Work

Apr 15, 2026
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT

Overview

Each year, more than 200,000 service members transition from the military to civilian employment. That means each year American employers gain mission-driven workers who bring strengths such as integrity, loyalty, adaptability, and commitment to their workplace. Organizations that strive to understand the veteran transition experience can improve retention and build stronger, more cohesive teams. With clear communication, predictable expectations, consistent feedback, and respectful management practices, employers can create positive environments where all employees, including veterans with disabilities, can succeed, feel recognized, and be supported to thrive.

Join the Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability (EARN) for a free, practical webinar designed to help employers strengthen management practices to support veterans’ mental health and overall work performance. This session will provide actionable guidance that helps employers meet compliance requirements, foster leadership, and achieve positive outcomes for both individuals and organizations.

Strengths and transferable skills veterans bring to civilian workplaces and ways employers can leverage them for better performance
Common transition challenges veterans may experience and how employers can respond with clarity and consistency
