If you have a VA health care provider, consider telling that person that you experienced Military Sexual Trauma (MST). All VA primary care and mental health providers complete training on MST and the treatment needs of people who've experienced it. Your provider can offer treatment referrals and support as needed.

Our MST coordinator is Dr. Rebecca Jump, clinical psychologist in our Trauma Recovery Center. If you have MST related questions, please call 706-733-0188, extension 27737.
