Veteran and Family of Veteran Mental Health

What you'll learn

Course overview

Military personnel face unique challenges as part of their service that can have long-term effects on their mental health as well as wide reaching effects on their family members. Military personnel serving in armed conflict face life-threatening situations and the trauma of death and destruction on a daily basis. Repeated exposures over deployments that can last for months can have a detrimental impact on the individuals mental health. Active duty and former military personnel have higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and suicide than the civilian population. These issues often take a toll on the entire family. Military families, especially when the military member suffers from mental health issues, have a higher rate of domestic violence, child abuse, and divorce.
