CEU Course Description

Research presented by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs suggests that military veterans may suffer from a variety of mental health conditions. The question is, what types of mental health conditions may affect military veterans, and what should healthcare professionals consider when assessing military veterans for mental health conditions? This course will answer that very question while highlighting military veteran care recommendations.
