Two Veterans Toolkit Groups

The Phoenix VA has created and continues to run many classes and Groups and Activities intended for the well-being and increased life experience for veterans.

Two of these Groups are walk-in Groups - which means that all veterans are encouraged to attend - and referrals from a Physician or anyone is NOT required!

Both of these Groups meet at the Jade/Opal Clinic every Tuesday.  One at 11:30 AM and the other follows it at 1 PM.

The purpose of the two Groups are discussion Groups with direction - and instruction.

The first one: Veterans Toolkit meets currently at 11:30 and deals especially with coping skills.  Skills that have been studied and refined to assist individuals (in this case veterans) to handle and cope with anxiety issues we all deal with on an almost daily routine.

The second one: Veterans Chronic Pain Group focuses more on dealing with chronic (lasting typically more than 6 months) psychological and physical pain issues.

They both have the intention of helping the veteran deal with normal day to day issues.

There is no compulsion to attend any date.  The classes repeat after a scheduled number of issues are reviewed.  The veteran can attend or not according to interest.

Excellent classes both.

Throughout my life I have felt very blessed to have been born into this Nation and have always been proud of being a US Citizen.  From time to time I have been disappointed by the policies of the Government but I have maintained an attitude of tolerance when I was uncomfortable and strong pride when in agreement. I happen to be very proud and pleased with the direction the Country is finally headed once again.  Some of it is my age and seeing the Nation return ag

My site - Time and Date

When I created my site many years ago, one of the first things I decided to create on it was what I considered a very useful link to what I considered a great site. On the top of THIS blog I put a link that would bring you back to my Home Page.  Of course you can go everywhere from there.  But on my home page, above my name, is the link that I was so impressed by.  I wanted people around the world to know exactly the time here in the Phoenix area at any given moment.  I know people all around the world in many Countries. More importantly I wanted to also make them available to a very impressive site that will enable them to see the time around the world AND weather; along with many other wonderful features of convenience in that regards. By clicking on the time in the link on the top of the page above my name, you are instantly linked to that wonderful site that gives access to the time and weather here in the Phoenix area in an attractive appearance.
