Dr. Whittaker VA Healthcare Benefits for MST

Have you wondered what it means to file a VA claim for disability compensation, particularly for Military Sexual Trauma as the result of a sexual assault? Come to this webinar and find out all about the process and much more. We will be exploring Military Sexual Trauma or MST, what defines it and its symptoms, the healthcare that is available to survivors of MST from the VA, why it’s worth going through the claims process, and special considerations for the BIPOC community with Dr. Valene Whittaker, a women’s health clinical psychologist at the VA. Our second speaker, Ms. Carmen McGinnis is a national area supervisor at the Denver DAV. She will discuss how to navigate the VA claims process itself, expectations for outcomes, exams required for your claim, and how the Disabled American Veterans or DAV can assist in this process. This webinar is hosted by the Survivor Advocacy Network (SAN), a subgroup of the U.S. Naval Academy Women’s Shared Interest Group (WSIG).
