Military Sexual Trauma

MST

Counseling and Treatment

The department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) is concerned about military sexual trauma because we know that any type of trauma can have lasting effects on a person’s physical and mental health. We also know that people can recover from trauma. Trauma counseling can help veterans to better cope with a past experience of military sexual trauma. Trauma counseling can help veterans to better cope with a past experience of military sexual trauma and to regain their confidence, self esteem, and hopefully, improve their quality of life.

What is Military Sexual Trauma?


Sexual Trauma can include sexual harassment or sexual assault. Sexual harassment is any repeated sexual assault. Sexual harassment is any repeated, unwelcome sexual behavior that occurs in the workplace. It includes things like offensive sexual remarks, unwanted sexual advances, or pressure for sexual favors. Sexual assault is any sort of sexual activity in which one person is involved against his or her will. Physical force may or may not be used. Military sexual trauma means that a veteran experienced sexual harassment or sexual assault during his or her military service.


For more information, contact your nearest VA Medical Center, VA Regional Office, Vet Center or call 1-800-827-1000
