At VA we understand that every woman Veteran has a unique story, and that past trauma can affect how you experience health care today. That’s why we use trauma-informed care across VA: an approach that prioritizes dignity, trust, and collaboration. In this video, you’ll hear from Veterans and VA providers about what trauma-informed care looks like in action, from being offered choices and privacy to being listened to and treated with respect. Whether you’ve experienced military sexual trauma (MST), combat stress, or other difficult experiences, VA is committed to creating a healing environment where you feel seen, heard, and safe. Learn how VA care can support your whole health, and help you move forward on your own terms.
