Nearly half of all Veterans in the United States are aged 65 years or older.
Our webinar will consider the specific needs of this significant population such as co-occurring health problems, a higher prevalence of PTSD than their civilian peers, and social isolation. The panel includes experts from the Got Your 6 Network who will address the challenges aging Veterans face through a discussion of housing, mental health, resources and benefits, and the specific needs of aging women Veterans.
