Question 1

How is EmpowerEd different from other VSN programs?

Accepted Answer

EmpowerEd offers seminar-style sessions led by rotating guest experts. Unlike our peer-based programs, these are more informational than discussion-based and open to the broader community, delivering expert insights, practical tools, and evidence-based wellness strategies.

Question 2

What is Let’s Talk About It, and how does it relate to EmpowerEd?

Accepted Answer

Let’s Talk About It is an optional peer support event hosted after many of our EmpowerEd seminars, offering space to reflect, connect, and share. While EmpowerEd is expert-led, this event centers on open conversation. Seminar attendance is encouraged but not required; register separately.

Question 3

How should I prepare for the event?

Accepted Answer

For the best experience, we recommend joining from a quiet, distraction-free space and arriving on time, as participants who join more than 15 minutes late may not be admitted. Be sure to have your Zoom link ready from your confirmation email.

Question 4

Do I have to pay to attend?

Accepted Answer

No, all events are completely free to attend. We are a grant-based organization and believe in removing barriers to connection and support and are proud to offer these sessions at no cost to our community.

Question 5

Do I need to live in Texas to participate?

Accepted Answer

No—VSN is based at the University of Texas at Austin’s Institute for Military & Veteran Family Wellness, but we are a nationwide network open to any military-connected individuals in the US and beyond.

Question 6

Why can’t I register for this event?

Accepted Answer

You must register at least 72 hours before an event. Most programs are ongoing series with multiple dates. Please check our calendar for upcoming sessions.
