Military experiences can affect individuals and families in ways that are different from civilian life.
Maumee Valley Guidance Center participates in the STAR Behavioral Health Providers initiative, which helps connect service members, veterans, and military families with behavioral health professionals who have received specialized education related to military culture and behavioral health needs.
Military-informed care recognizes issues that may include:
- Deployment and reintegration
- Combat-related experiences
- Trauma and PTSD
- Military family stress
- Relationship difficulties
- Grief and loss
- Anxiety and depression
- Substance use concerns
- Transition from military to civilian life
- The impact of military service on spouses and children
Understanding military culture can help reduce the need for veterans and service members to repeatedly explain experiences that are unique to military life.
Treatment Is Individualized
Being connected with a military-informed provider does not mean treatment follows one specific approach.
Our clinicians work with each individual to determine the treatment methods that best match their needs and goals.
