The law defines sexual trauma as sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape and other acts of violence of a sexual or sexually biased nature. It further defines sexual harassment as repeated unsolicited, verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature toward a male or female which becomes threatening and impedes functioning.

There are MST coordinators and counselors in all VISN3 medical centers. Counseling services are also available in several of our network Vet Centers as well as benefits counseling in the New York Regional Office. All counseling services are confidential and are tailored to individual needs.
