- This study examined the training needs of non-mental health professionals (e.g., emergency medical services, police, physical therapists, nurses) to (1) identify gaps within current training programs and (2) inform the development of trainings to provide greater competency when working with Veterans. 42 non-mental health professionals engaged in semi-structured, profession-specific focus groups to assess their training related to military knowledge and experiences. Thematic analysis was used to identify four themes focusing on training areas that could enhance the competency of non-mental health professionals working with Veterans.
