DoD, VA Partner to Offer Women's Health Transition Training

The Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs are partnering to present Health Transition Training for female military members who are segueing to civilian life. The program, which is designed to provide a female perspective to active-duty, Reserve and National Guard servicewomen who plan to transition to civilian or Reserve/National Guard status, is being offered in both in-person and online versions. To address the underutilization of VA services by female veterans, and make women aware of the benefits for which they are eligible, the VA introduced the VA Women's Health Transition Training Program in July 2018 as a pilot program at five Air Force bases. By June 2019, the training began operating as an official VA program and expanded to all branches of the military. The training is expected to be fully operational in 2021.
