Catastrophically high rates of suicide... PTSD... substance abuse... chronic pain...

Our military service members and veterans are suffering, often because they haven't received the mental health support they so badly need and deserve.

But too many clinicians feel underprepared to help these clients navigate their unique experiences of trauma, anger, grief, and relationship difficulties.

That's why we're offering this comprehensive course, to provide you with the specific skills you need to help these heroes reclaim their lives from tragedy.

Whether you've worked with military and veteran clients for years — or you want to be more effective with future clients who served — now is your chance to get the tools you need to provide military-culture-informed care.

Join 15 experts whose experiences both within the military and with veteran populations will give you valuable strategies and techniques to work with your clients.

They'll show you how to:
 
  • Navigate military culture to understand your clients' values
  • Develop effective crisis response plans
  • Create distance between your client and lethal means
  • Treat betrayal trauma after sexual assault
  • Address medical trauma related to burn pits and hazardous conditions

William Brim, PsyD
Understanding Military Culture: A Guide for Behavioral Healthcare Providers
William Brim, PsyD | Click here for information about William Brim

Your ability to have a positive impact on military service members and veterans hinges on one simple question — do you understand their culture and how it clashes with elements of the overarching culture of behavioural healthcare? Without understanding military morals, values, and beliefs, you won't establish effective rapport and create treatment plans that work. William Brim, PsyD, will give you a deeper look at military culture as well as concrete strategies for assessment and treatment.

Military Sexual Trauma: How to Heal in the Face of Betrayal
Melissa M. Bradley-Ball, MS, NCC, BCETS, FAAETS | Click here for information about Melissa Bradley-Ball

You may be overlooking a major factor in your clinical work with MST survivors — betrayal trauma. For many clients, the multiple layers of betrayal within military culture can often be more traumatizing than the assault itself — and it's a major contributing factor to the development of PTSD.

The Collective Trauma of War
Patrick Dougherty, MA, LP | Click here for information about Patrick Dougherty

Focusing on the symptoms of PTSD is not enough when working with military service members and veterans — we need to help them understand the larger society that wishes to forget the horrors of war and its shared responsibility for them, and how that reinforces their intense feelings of isolation and difficulty integrating back into the civilian world. Learn an innovative way to help your clients gain agency and bring a clearer awareness to understanding the emotional burden they carry.
