Efficacy of Virtual Warrior Renew Therapy for Veterans Who Experienced Military Sexual Trauma

Description

This project will examine mental health treatment in a group setting for Veterans who have experienced military sexual trauma. Military sexual trauma or MST is defined as any experience of sexual assault or sexual harassment experienced during military service. Survivors of MST may develop mental health symptoms. Group treatment for survivors of MST may be helpful. This study will compare two different group treatments: 1) Warrior Renew; and 2) Health & Wellness.

By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn: 1) if one or both of the group treatments are safe and effective in reducing mental health symptoms in Veterans who have experienced MST; and 2) if there are differences based on gender that should be addressed differently in developing treatments for survivors of MST.
