Abstract
“Whole Health Educational Resource Development and Evaluation for Veterans and VA Staff” A study was undertaken with the purpose of evaluating and identifying resource effectiveness in veterans or VA staff related to Whole Health usage. The federal government has taken interest in determining if Whole Health is a more effective healthcare care technique that can treat serious mental and physical conditions that can occur as a result of military engagement or treatment of military members. Review of Passport to Whole Health 3rd Edition 2018, videos on the VA Administration website, and mentor guidance helped prepare the development of a survey to be distributed. This survey is yet to be distributed to veteran and VA participants through online and physical means. Online through qualtrics and by hand for physical copies with the means of spreading the word through the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System in Ann Arbor, MI. We are yet to determine the findings, but we expect to be able to determine pain points associated with the treatment and effective modalities as well. Based on these results we are to address and analyze the data to report our findings on Whole Health resources.
