Veterans Who Have Experienced Sexual Trauma While in the Military
In compliance with Congress Millennium Act of 2000 and VHA Directive 2005-015, Military Sexual Trauma Counseling, the Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking to identify those veterans who have suffered sexual trauma while serving in the military.
Those veterans with a history of sexual trauma suffered while in the military (MST) MAY be eligible for treatment without charge for conditions related to that trauma whether or not they are service connected for that trauma. Military related sexual trauma includes rape, attempted rape and sexual harassment.
While we recognize the benefits of this program, we also realize that some patients may experience discomfort at being asked such sensitive and personal questions. If you have any concerns you wish to share, please feel free to discuss it with your care provider, MST Coordinator, or the Women Veterans Program Managers.
