Military Sexual Trauma

Resources for Mental Health Providers

Support for those working with MST

Military sexual trauma (MST) involves sexual assault or sexual harassment during military service. For mental health clinicians working with this population, the work is challenging and often under-resourced.

Working with MST clients requires specialized trauma‑focused skills along with a solid understanding of military and veteran experiences.

This site is here to empower you with valuable insights and resources to enhance your efforts in this important work.

The majority of mental health care for MST survivors occurs outside of VA.
Community and private practice clinicians play a crucial role in offering effective support.

"It's incredibly fulfilling to witness their growth and healing; it's truly a rewarding experience."
