The need has never been more crucial for community health providers, programs, and organizations to have access to training in addressing the unique behavioral health challenges facing our veterans, active duty military, and their families.

Handbook of Military Social Work considers:

  • Military culture and diversity
  • Women in the military

  • Traumatic brain injury in the military
  • Suicide in the military
  • Homelessness among veterans
