Long Term Care for Veterans

2008 Apr 21 Posted by Joseph Pascarella

This blog has reiterated through several posts the importance of personnel issues in public safety. The human element in public safety, albeit domestic public safety or international public safety cannot be emphasized enough.

The type of stress and pressure can be overwhelming and have long-term detrimental effects. The United States Department of Veteran’s Affairs is making a sound investement by initiating a program giving hotline counselors instant access to the caller’s health records. This information will streamline information and hopefully services for the client in need of services. These types of programs are critical given the need for follow-up care for personnel that may be suffering from long term effects of trauma. Given that research in this field is still developing, the effects of long term trauma cannot be ignored.

Take care and stay safe.
