Charleston AFB Veteran Workshop Syllabus

Charleston AFB Veteran Workshop

This is a very interactive and participatory workshop. You'll finish each session with unexpected insights from thought provoking experiences. It is also an introduction to the 336 page book, and 48 video episodes, packed into seven hours of attention grabbing examples, truths, and evidence based take-home lessons for Charleston AFB Veterans, miliary families, and veteran champions.

The sessions listed are a digest of the 48-week base-camp experience. Allow one (1) hour for each session (capitalized blocks) so that participants can experience and absorb the material, ask questions, and discuss the topic.
