Description

REGISTER HERE!

Truly honoring choice for veterans requires more than routine consent forms or standard care pathways.

This session will explore how service history, moral injury, trauma exposure, and chronic social isolation shape the way many veterans think about treatment options, risk, trust, and autonomy. We’ll examine the frequent overlap of physical and mental health diagnoses and discuss why patience, active listening, and nonjudgmental curiosity are essential clinical skills when working with veterans. Learn practical approaches to conversations, care planning, and follow-through that respect each veteran’s story while promoting safety, dignity, and collaborative decision-making.
