Share Your Experiences with Mental Health Care as a Veteran of Color

Fort Belvoir VA

Description

Researchers at the VA San Diego are looking for minority Veterans to discuss experiences with mental health treatment, and decision-making specifically. Veterans will also give the research team feedback on how to tailor a group therapy to better fit the needs of Veterans of color. By understanding the specific experiences, preferences, and values of Veterans of color, we hope to improve the experience that Veterans of color have when making mental health treatment decisions with providers.
