Program Details
Active military personnel and combat veterans may face a variety of emotional challenges brought on by frequent relocations, separation from family, or experiences at war. In some instances, the strain of combat-related stress can lead to substance abuse, homelessness, or other social issues. The courses in this specialization help you develop an understanding of military culture and the short- and long-term effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. You also will have an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how family members are affected by a loved one’s combat-related experiences.
