1 Listen actively

Active listening is more than just hearing what the other person says. It involves paying attention, showing interest, reflecting back, clarifying, and summarizing. Active listening can help the veteran feel heard, validated, and respected. It can also help you identify the veteran's strengths, needs, goals, and challenges. By listening actively, you can help the veteran gain insight into their own situation and feelings.

Before I begin, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the men and women of the Military who keep me and my loved ones safe. I am not a member of the Military. I do know some folks who have honored me with their trust. I was taught the difference between Left and Right of BANG. I stay in my lane. Peer Supporters strengths i) ask Open Ended Questions, ii) and when it is appropriate - Reflective Listening. Early opinions have little value. They do more harm than healing. Silence is a strength. I was an addict/alcoholic for 44 years. I know why I was a mess. With the help of my Higher Power, others who were like me (Peers), and some amazing professionals - they showed me a way to become well. Step 7 is the key to finding balance.

I would begin with emphasis on mind-body connection: pay attention to your body and what sensations you are experiencing. Being able to acknowledge and allow these feelings to play themselves out, goes a long way into understanding how they relate to your emotions. Do regular check-ins with your current state and evaluate the intensity of your feelings and the effect they have on your body. When you make this a habit, you become more attuned with evolving self.

2 Ask open-ended questions

Open-ended questions are those that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. They invite the veteran to share more information, opinions, or feelings. They also encourage the veteran to think deeply and critically about their own experiences and perspectives. By asking open-ended questions, you can help the veteran explore their thoughts and emotions, discover new possibilities, and find their own solutions.

3 Provide feedback

Feedback is the process of giving and receiving information about performance, behavior, or outcomes. Feedback can help the veteran recognize their achievements, areas of improvement, and potential actions. It can also help the veteran learn from their mistakes, celebrate their successes, and adjust their strategies. By providing feedback, you can help the veteran monitor their progress, evaluate their results, and plan their next steps.

4 Share your own experiences

Sharing your own experiences can help the veteran relate to you and trust you. It can also help the veteran learn from your examples, insights, and advice. However, sharing your own experiences should not overshadow the veteran's story or impose your views on them. It should be done with respect, empathy, and relevance. By sharing your own experiences, you can help the veteran understand that they are not alone and that they can overcome their challenges.

5 Encourage reflection

Reflection is the process of thinking about and analyzing one's own actions, feelings, and outcomes. Reflection can help the veteran understand themselves better, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and learn from their experiences. It can also help the veteran develop a positive attitude, a growth mindset, and a sense of purpose. By encouraging reflection, you can help the veteran become more self-aware and self-directed.

6 Support self-care

Self-care is the practice of taking care of one's own physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Self-care can help the veteran cope with stress, improve their mood, and enhance their self-esteem. It can also help the veteran prevent burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma. By supporting self-care, you can help the veteran prioritize their own needs, set healthy boundaries, and balance their roles.

Some times all veterans may not be able to communicate in a group or with the program manager...they can be made into pairs, and then talk to each other about their life, thoughts, fears, strengths etc. This way, they can share each other's experiences, also they can be encouraged to talk about their observations about each other, thus increasing their self awareness.
