The use of telemental health for Veterans with PTSD and Veterans nearing the end of life continues to expand within the VA. Providing effective telemental health care for these Veterans presents unique challenges and opportunities. This interactive webinar will provide an overview of VA telemental health services for Veterans at the end of life, offer considerations for effectively caring for Veterans with PTSD at the end of life, and discuss ways the VA supports non-VA providers caring for Veterans with PTSD. There will be plenty of time for questions and comments at the end of the presentation.
