Eagle Group meetings were instrumental to my job search by giving me concrete tools, and networking connections with both employers and my peers who were also searching for work. The meetings were morale boosters and really encouraged me not to give up. Thanks to contacts I made, and the coaching, I landed a position I’d been pursuing for years. – CNMM, former US Army

Eagle Group Monthly Meeting

Wednesday, 28 SEP, 6 - 8:00 pm, FREE: Cargill, Inc.             9320 Excelsior Blvd, Hopkins, MN 55343​

Presentation: Jonna Phillips, MA, LMFT
EMDR for Post Traumatic Growth

Join us at this month’s in-person Eagle Group meeting to hear National Guard officer and licensed therapist Jonna Phillips speak about how the Veteran Resilience Project is helping veterans and military members across the nation overcome barriers with free access to EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing).   

While in private practice as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Jonna often saw veterans with PTS(D) and trauma (combat and noncombat-related), including Military Sexual Trauma (MST). Trained in EMDR, she would utilize this modality of therapy due to its being non-invasive and effective. Clients that would go through EMDR would resolve their trauma(s) and significantly improve their overall quality of life. Jonna wants to share with veterans that there is an effective way to treat their symptoms, and this is not something they "Just have to live with".

​Jonna will share with Eagle Group:

+How VRP partners with organizations to reach out to and build relationships with veterans and military members
+The scope of Veteran Resilience Therapy Network
+An overview of EMDR therapy and why it’s effective when working with PTS(D), trauma and other mental health symptoms

Jonna joined Air National Guard in 2000 as an enlisted member and now serves as a major and as director of Equal Opportunity for the 148th Fighter Wing in Duluth, MN, and oversees the MN Air National Guard Sexual Harassment Task Force. Her experience as a therapist, a military member, and spouse of a six-times deployed OEF / OIF veteran helps her bridge potential gaps between veterans and the process of starting therapy. Jonna enjoys diversification in her work, creativity, strategic planning, personality assessments for personal and professional purposes, yoga, meditation and cold exposure. Her current mantra is "Know your worth, protect your peace". 
 
Plan to join us as we honor and enjoy the camaraderie that is unique among veterans, and gather to provide and support services important to our veteran community.
