Pennsylvania has enacted a law requiring staff who support veterans in the state to receive more training on different service-related physical and psychological traumas in order to enhance the care they provide to veterans.
Under the measure, House Bill 2024, County Veteran Assistance Directors must complete extra training and certification in areas including trauma-informed care, military sexual trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The law aims to support those in the state with these traumas and others as they transition into civilian life.
I agree with this exposure and trauma-informed approach to delivering Veteran assistive services. Nice move PA
