WORKSHEETS FOR THE PEER VetSEd PROVIDER
The following worksheets are written for the Veteran to fill out from their perspective.
The peer VetSEd provider should use the worksheets with the Veteran during their
sessions. Feel free to make copies of the worksheets and leave for the Veterans to fill out.
Worksheets are helpful for several reasons. First they give you as the VetSEd provider an
opportunity to bring the concepts from the manual to life in your meetings with Veterans.
The worksheets provide a template for complex conversations about the veteran‘s goals,
financial situation, motivation, and experience of self-stigma. Using worksheets make the
veteran with active member of the process by providing a way for them to explore their
own thoughts, goals, and situation with a greater degree of independence. For example, a
veteran could choose to take a worksheet home and fill it out by him/herself, or the
Veteran can decide to work on the worksheet with the VetSEd provider if they want more
direct support or assistance. Finally, another benefit of the worksheets is they provide a
take-home reminder of the conversations that Veterans can review on their own and use
by themselves when the VetSEd provider may not be immediately available. This then
furthers the progress that can be accomplished with the VetSEd provider to maximize the
time together.
