Description/Abstract

This poster outlines the development of a comprehensive Veteran Reintegration Ecosystem for Ukrainian universities, using Syracuse University as an exemplar. In collaboration with experts across public health, social work, and behavioral science, the project addresses the urgent need to support the influx of Ukrainian veterans through structured institutional frameworks. The proposed ecosystem focuses on three critical pillars: behavioral health and wellbeing, workforce and economic integration, and institutional capacity and coordination. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between military service and civilian life, fostering national resilience and postwar reconstruction in Ukraine.
