Serving Our Veterans Behavioral Health Certificate
More and more, the brave soldiers who protect our nation’s freedom are returning home with the visible and invisible wounds of war, which range from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to depression and suicide. Their families may struggle as well. Their children may suffer from anxiety due to fears that their loved one will be hurt or injured during deployment. And others may develop behavioral or physical problems stemming from their parent's long-term absence.
About the Certificate
