Combat on Many Fronts: Latino Veterans and PTSD

PTSD does not discriminate. Latino Americans have served our country in the military and each Latino veteran carries within his or her life experience, which may include discrimination or abuse, and this may compound PTSD. Our goal is to help VA treatment Providers, veterans, and others understand the history and cultural issues of Latino Americans and how we can best serve these veterans.
