The OVMA Resiliency Program is adding Cabana Live, a free, anonymous peer support service that complements the Cabana Pod at the National Veterans Resource Center.

Support does not always begin with an appointment. Sometimes it begins with a few quiet minutes to reset. Other times, it begins by hearing someone else say, “I’ve been there, too.”

The University’s Office of Veteran and Military Affairs (OVMA) Resiliency Program is creating more opportunities for both. Building on the Cabana Pod already available at the National Veterans Resource Center (NVRC), OVMA is partnering with Cabana to bring Cabana Live to the University’s veteran and military-connected community.

The OVMA Resiliency Program (ORP) offers personalized, nonclinical support to help students navigate challenges that can affect their academic experience and well-being. Its staff work with students to understand what they need, connect them with resources and help them find a path forward. Cabana Live adds a way to connect with others wherever they are.
