“15 Things That Veterans Want You to Know” is a course created to educate anyone who works with, lives with, or cares for veterans. PsychArmor asked hundreds of Veterans what they want civilian employers, health care providers, and therapists to know about them. There were hundreds of comments and patterns. We took those comments and broke it down into 15 things Veterans want civilians to know. This course will teach you 5 questions you should always ask veterans, 1 question you should never ask veterans, and 15 facts that will make your more culturally competent.
