This month, we are joined by Dr. Jessica Keith, Clinical Programs and Practices Lead for VA's Military Sexual Trauma Support Team; Dr. Ryan Holliday, Clinical Research Psychologist at the Rocky Mountain MIRECC for Suicide Prevention; and Mrs. Adelaide Kahn-Fowler, Director of Programs and Policy at Protect Our Defenders to learn about military sexual trauma, or MST. Our guests share with us what the research tells us how MST impacts survivors, how advocacy and seeking justice can support recovery, and what VA is doing to help.
Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
