Women’s Health Transition Training 2020

Women’s Health Transition Trainings Move to Live Virtual During COVID-19

The national rollout for VA’s Women’s Health Transition Training program (WHTT) has expanded to more than 100 training sessions this year across the U.S. and overseas including locations in Germany, Japan, and Hawaii. Due to the impact of COVID-19, all trainings through July shifted to a virtual format in Adobe Connect. In-person trainings will resume when at a later date when it is safe.

What is Women’s Health Transition Training?

  • Training for transitioning women to learn about resources available to them as they transition to the reserve components or to civilian life.
  • Training program goes over how to enroll in the VA, women focused healthcare services available at the VA, and other resources available
  • Training is led by a woman veteran who has experience using the VA
  • Women veteran’s program manager (WVPM) are available during the trainings to answer questions

More than 185 servicewomen have already received training this year either in-person or virtually.  Participants have expressed great appreciation and gained substantial knowledge after completing the WHTT training.

“I feel like I’m on a better path for the transition process.  now have a plan. This training was an eye-opener.”

“Definitely took the mystery out of everything… it’s good to know what options are out there and what I can expect.”

With the COVID-19 pandemic, we are living in unprecedented times right now. Servicewomen still need to know about the health services available to them when they transition. By attending this free, informational women’s health transition training, women can use this critical time to invest in discovering how to take advantage of the great resources the VA has to offer. Servicewomen can learn in a live interactive online training session which will explain how to enroll in the VA, resources available to women, and women-focused healthcare services available at the VA.

Every training is led by a woman Veteran who actively uses VA health care services. WHTT trainers have been through the transitioning and enrollment process and can help women understand the health services offered from the VA, what women-specific services are available, and how to navigate the enrollment process.

As a bonus, a women veteran’s program manager (WVPM) will also be available in various virtual training sessions to answer any questions and provide additional insight! These WVPMs have unique knowledge on the services and offerings to women by women.

All servicewomen are encouraged to register and attend any virtual training. Participants are not limited to trainings in their own time zone. Start preparing for your future, and register for an upcoming training today at www.va.gov/womenvet/whtt/.
