The Challenges: The Health & Mental Health Issues Facing Veterans & Their Families Amid Pandemic, & Efforts to Address, Including VMHTI


This panel will focus on challenges faced by veterans, related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including factors that exacerbate mental health and substance use disorder, suicidal ideation, and self-medication trends. The focus of this panel will be to discuss short term impacts that have emerged as a result of COVID-19, as well as longer term effects of global fear, stress, and isolation, including the re-triggering of Post Traumatic Stress symptoms. Speakers will review current statistics related to the pandemic and cultural factors that may cause or heighten anxiety and/or depression symptoms, as well as efforts that have been put in place to address and manage these challenges. Keynote Speaker, Moderator, and Panelists will include Veterans, Physicians, and Mental Health Experts in the Field of Veteran Services.

Speakers will share what practices have been most effective, as well as what areas to focus on for screening, treatment, and best-fit referrals. This panel will discuss what has proven to be successful, in order to pave the way for, and build upon, positive outcomes for veterans seeking care.
