Abstract
ABSTRACT After examining the extant literature on career-development in Veterans, the author will outline a new Trauma-Informed Existential Career Development (TI-ECD) group specifically designed to meet the unique needs of Veterans-in-transition out of the military. The author will explicate how the group aligns with the principles and praxes of trauma-informed care and explore implications for multiculturalism, social justice, and research. Finally, limitations of the group and it’s suggested means of evaluation will be explored and a challenge offered to future professionals that may come into contact with Veterans-in-transition out of the military.
