Demond Mullins, PhD and Veterans Outreach Group
Supporting student veteran success has become a
priority of increasing importance in higher education. This is especially true for the small
proportion of student veterans who are simultaneously coping with trauma from
military combat exposure or military based-violence and trauma. This panel discussion will first provide an
overview of the services and processes that universities put in place for
detecting, engaging, and alleviating trauma-induced distress in student
veterans. The panel will then discuss challenges
and gaps in existing processes with an aim toward engaging with the broader
audience of experts in attendance on how to better serve the population of
trauma-distressed student veterans.
