CURRENT LIVE CE TRAINING TOPICS
Diamond Mind Training offers live, interactive CE trainings focused on Veteran recovery, military transition, post-traumatic growth, resilience, connection, and strengths-based approaches to mental health and substance use recovery.
Each training is designed to help professionals move beyond generic “Veteran awareness” and better understand the human, relational, and identity-based factors that shape Veteran engagement, coping, recovery, and long-term wellbeing.
Understanding Veterans & Military Transition
Unique Factors Contributing to Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders in the Veteran and Military-Connected Population
Theme: How military transition itself can be traumatic
Overview: This training reframes common post-service challenges not simply as pathology, but as predictable responses to disrupted identity, belonging, purpose, and meaning. Participants gain a practical lens for understanding how transition stress can fuel disengagement, risk-taking, substance use, and maladaptive coping—and how restoring connection, authenticity, and meaning can improve engagement and recovery outcomes.

Post-Traumatic Growth in Veteran Recovery
Meaning, Identity, and Strengths-Based Pathways for Recovery from Co-Occurring Mental Health & Substance Use Disorders
Theme: How people can grow through trauma and adversity
Overview: Trauma does not have to define the limits of recovery. This training introduces the science of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) and explores how adversity can become a catalyst for resilience, meaning, identity reconstruction, and long-term recovery. Grounded in positive psychology, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based recovery, the session equips participants to help clients move beyond survival and reconnect with purpose.

Reconnection, Regulation, and Resilience
Supporting Veterans with Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders
Theme: How resilience is built on regulation and re-connection
Overview: Chronic dysregulation, emotional reactivity, and relapse risk often stem from disrupted self-connection, relational strain, and nervous system imbalance. This training explores how reconnection often precedes regulation—and regulation supports resilience. Participants learn practical ways to help clients move from survival states toward proactive recovery, emotional stability, and sustainable wellbeing.

Repairing Foundations for Recovery
Supporting Veterans’ Relationships with Self, Others, and Community
Theme: How connection and relationships protect recovery
Overview: Unresolved guilt, shame, resentment, isolation, and relational wounds can quietly undermine recovery from mental health and substance use challenges. This training focuses on repairing the relational foundations that support long-term recovery—beginning with the relationship to self and extending outward to family, peers, providers, and community.

Building Confidence, Competence, & Capacity
A Strengths-Based Approach to Supporting Veterans with Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders
Theme: How people apply change in recovery
Overview: Grounded in Positive Psychology and trauma-informed care, this session provides a clear lens for identifying why progress stalls—even when motivation is present—and for adjusting interventions so change becomes sustainable rather than episodic.

Who is the Expert in the Room?
Peers, Coaches, and Licensed Clinicians in Mental Health and Substance Use Recovery
Theme: How systems work together to improve outcomes
Overview: Recovery outcomes improve when clinicians, peer specialists, and recovery coaches understand—and respect—the unique value each role brings. Participants examine how peer-based and clinical approaches complement one another across prevention, treatment, and long-term recovery—and how misalignment can unintentionally undermine care.
