SWK 810 - Mental Health Issues, Assessment Diagnosis 3 hours
actors that impact the mental health of SMVF are considered. Mental health during deployment and post deployment will be considered from a contemporary as well as a historical perspective. Barriers to care such as systemic, social, and organizational barriers as well as the stigma surrounding mental health issues in a military context are explored. Cultural, racial, gender and spiritual differences among SMVF and how those differences impact mental health experiences are presented. A systems approach is used to allow students to take a uniquely social work perspective when considering the family life cycle disturbances created with specific service related health and mental health issues. Students will learn the process of assessment of the impact that physical injury, emotional, and/or sexual trauma have on the mental health in SMVF populations and their family members. Diagnoses of common comorbid conditions are examined. This course provides discernment of behavior specific to how SMVF’s symptoms manifest with in family, and in mental health, medical, business and educational settings. This is a 15-week hybrid course and will require students to participate in both the online and face to face classroom environments. Prerequisite: SWK 510 and 550
