Understanding and being sensitive to the military culture is imerative in providing appropriate care. As a clinician, it is up to you to help your client navigate the confusing treatment landscape which may be different for the veteran than what is available for their families. For our veteran communtiy, the path to gain treatment is wrought with extensive unfamiliarity, confusion, transportation challenges and geographic barriers, broken network connection, and misunderstanding over appropriate treatment modalities. Join us as we resolve these issues!
