Military sexual trauma (MST) refers to sexual assault or repeated, threatening sexual harassment that occurred while a person was in the military. This can happen to both women and men. You may have experienced MST or know someone who has, perhaps a friend, family member, or fellow Veteran. Below, we share multiple free services to aid in the management and recovery from this trauma.
