Educational Sessions on Presumptive Conditions and MST

An online educational session covering presumptive conditions will be held on Thursday, May 25th at 1:00 p.m. This event will be presented by Lisa Maciel, Director of the Veteran Advocacy and Support Team with NDVS. The session will offer information about health conditions and benefits that may be available to veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances during service in the U.S. military.

Meanwhile, the third and final part of a three-part series on Military Sexual Trauma (MST) came to a close last month. Nearly 30 individuals attended this portion of the series, which was facilitated by Jeremy Perkins, who is the Sexual Assault Response Officer for the Nevada National Guard. The entire series offered an up-close and personal perspective on MST, digging into the symptoms and common reactions, along with the treatments and ethical considerations of healthcare professionals caring for MST survivors.  

These educational sessions are held in partnership between NDVS and the Perry Foundation. CEU credit is pending through the Nevada State Board of Nursing, Board of Examiners for Long-Term Care, and the Board of Examiners for Social Workers.
