Description

This presentation will help service providers and professionals to better understand the complexities and needs of women service members and veterans by highlighting topics specific to women with current or previous service in the United States military. Participants will be presented with data about the female service member and veteran populations as compared to their male counterparts, on both a state and national level. Current behavioral health trends surrounding topics including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Substance Abuse, and Military Sexual Trauma will be reviewed. Participants will also be given an understanding of the historical and cultural complexities of military service for women, along with variances in generational conflicts and types of service.
