Research Brief: "Coming Home: Student Veterans’ Articulation Of College Re-Enrollment", Institute For Veterans And Military Families At Syracuse University
Institute for Veterans and Military Families
This study indicated that veterans experienced initial academic challenges but employed maturity, mission mentality, and perseverance to mitigate these obstacles.

Policymakers can work to create policies that provide resources and support for educational institutions focused on positive outcomes for student veterans.

The Impact Of Council On Early Adolescents, Denise Jaimes-Villanueva
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
Throughout history, attempts have been made to influence children’s social behavior through programs and policies in schools.

The Center for Council Training started more than 50 programs in California, Arizona, Washington, Colorado, New York, and Israel. The Council Practitioners Center started to integrate Council into schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and has a goal of expanding Council throughout California …
