VA Illiana Health Care Local Recovery Coordinator Stephanie Brown joined Laura Williams on 1490 WDAN’s Community Connection program this week to talk about the VA’s Telepride program. This region wide VA program is meant to assist LGBTQ Veterans, with ongoing ten week virtual sessions on their home computers or cell phones. As Stephanie Brown explained, it’s meant to help assist these Veterans on their recovery, such as from behavioral health or other ailments, no matter where they may be on that recovery journey.
AUDIO: The Telepride group is our “Pride in All Who Served” group. It’s designated to assist Veterans in the development of strengthening of their LGBTQ identities; through education, processing, and empowering. We hope to provide education through services, and on the continuation of their LGBTQ journey along the way.
To learn more about this VA program, you can ask your primary care provider, social worker, or ask at the VA front desk. The main Danville VA Illiana Health Care system number is 217-554-3000.
