Statistics show veterans who have returned home from war have a notably
higher risk of suffering from mental health issues than average citizens.
The goal of this symposium is to build the capacity of our region’s emergency personnel, first responders and mental health workforce to better serve our returning veterans and their families. It is course designed for EMS, Emergency Department, First Responders, physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, mental health providers, VSOs and veterans.
This event is happening on November 5, 2019 and will be a regional discussion with various speakers to engage conversation around veteran health. It will take place at the Baystate Education Center, 361 Whitney Ave, Holyoke, MA 01040.
