This is the sixth in a series of twelve courses on serving Veteran populations. They can be taken in order or as stand-alone courses.
Description: This module will help you to integrate what you have learned about military culture into your assessment and treatment plans. Tools for assessing the impact of military culture on the health and well-being of Veterans presenting for services will be discussed. Additionally, this module will cover guidelines for incorporating elements of military culture for some of the health-related conditions that are most common in military populations. A self-assessment tool for military culture competence and checklist is part of the resources file for providers. In Modules One – Four, the three core cultural competencies were discussed. The focus for this next section will be on the supports necessary for the third; providing informed treatment and support services. We will present information to help providers conceptualize and understand Veteran’s mental health conditions based on knowledge of possible risk and resilience factors for both the patient in general and specific factors for military culture. Providers will learn how to infuse culturally informed principles (i.e., flexibility, respect) into his or her practice, based on his or her knowledge of the challenges and strengths of being a Service member.
