The Missouri Department of Mental Health is making a push to better train behavioral health professionals on how to help returning veterans and their families cope with the unique stresses that result from their experiences in the service and the readjustment to returning to the realities of everyday life.
The goal is to get 2,000 professionals in the mental health and substance abuse fields to complete this important, free training by Sept. 30.
