Violence and Abuse
No one deserves to be abused or exposed to personal violence. If you are living with such a situation, or if you have experienced sexual trauma of any kind, VA has resources to support you.
- Intimate Partner Violence
- Military Sexual Trauma (experiences of sexual assault or sexual harassment during military service)
- Sexual Assault
- Suicide Prevention
Even if you are not eligible to receive other VA health care, you may still be able to get certain health care services, like care related to military sexual trauma (MST).
