Healing on the Home Front: A Guide to Veteran Mental Health
Learn about mental health concerns facing veterans and best practices in screening and treatment for healthcare professionals in this course.
About this course
Military personnel's engagement in high-risk environments, marked by daily encounters with death, destruction, and prolonged deployments, significantly elevates their susceptibility to mental health issues. Distinct from the general populace, this group displays amplified rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and even suicidal tendencies. Beyond the individual, the ripple effects of such traumas extend to their families, manifesting in elevated instances of domestic violence, child abuse, and marital discord. Recognizing this intricate web of challenges, the designed curriculum seeks to offer health care professionals a comprehensive understanding of veterans' mental health intricacies. Through a focused approach, participants will gain a grasp on effective screening techniques and the latest treatment modalities tailored to this unique population, ensuring a more informed and empathetic professional response.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
