Description

Your ability to have a positive impact on military service members and veterans hinges on one simple question – do you understand their culture and how it clashes with elements of the overarching culture of behavioural healthcare? Without understanding military morals, values, and beliefs, you won’t establish effective rapport and create treatment plans that work. This recorded session will give you a deeper look at military culture as concrete strategies for assessment and treatment.
