Did you know that February is Psychology Month?
To mark the occasion, we invited our Psychology Department Lead, Lyndsay Long, to share her perspective on the role psychology plays in supporting mental health and why therapy can be such an important part of a veteran’s journey.
Here’s what she had to say, "mental health conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety can make veterans feel isolated, weak, and alone. When this happens, it can feel incredibly scary to reach out for support, especially if they have been taught that asking for help is a sign of weakness. If veterans don’t understand the signs of depression, anxiety, or trauma, their symptoms can feel even more confusing to navigate."
What’s one way we can better support veterans’ mental health together?
