knowledge and skills to provide gender-sensitive, foundational mental health services to women

Veterans and Service members. The curriculum will include a blend of highly interactive clinical

demonstrations and role plays, didactic sessions, group discussions, and experiential small-

group, case-based, expert-facilitated discussions. Participants will also be required to develop

and implement high impact Action Plans to advance women’s mental health care, including

gender-related suicide prevention strategies, at their local facilities. An additional purpose of this

conference is to facilitate communication, information sharing, professional networking, and

cross-training between VA and DoD providers. The overarching goal of this training is to ensure

that there is at least one Women’s Mental Health Champion at each VA Medical Center.

scientific rigor in all of its individually sponsored or jointly EES sponsored educational

activities. All prospective faculty and planning committee members participating in an EES
