ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE EDUCATION CLASS SERIES FOR VETERANS The WRIISC is pleased to offer the following class series VIRTUALLY via Webex, an easy to access meeting platform via a personal computer, smart phone or tablet. Veterans can register for each class themselves when a class is formally announced about a month before it takes place. All of these classes are designed to provide Veterans with information on what is currently known about exposures and health concerns in general. For each class, our experts share available resources and offer tips on how to help Veterans manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Please note the classes are for educational purposes only and not intended to serve as medical advice.
