Online resiliency training
for families of veterans
Learn what to expect from your
veteran’s return and how to manage
common challenges in adjusting to
post-deployment life.
Family of Heroes is a 1-hour role-playing resiliency training simulation where family members learn essential skills to manage the challenges they may face in adjusting to post-deployment life. This includes managing expectations from their veteran's return, learning to identify post-deployment stress, and managing conversations with the goals of de-escalating arguments, negotiating family responsibilities, and, if needed, motivating the veteran to seek help for post-deployment stress, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide.
This simulation is a result of a collaboration between Kognito Interactive, an award-winning developer of online role-playing training simulations and the Veterans Affairs of NY/NJ (VISN 3). In addition, over 100 family members from around the country provided feedback throughout the development.
Organizations outside of geographic areas highlighted on the map should contact Kognito to purchase a license to make the training available to families in their area. Kognito can be reached at 212-675-9234 or info@kognito.com.
