Women veteran transition mental health and well-being support group programs: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The military is a male-dominated environment and culture in which women veterans can experience significant institutional prejudice. Transition can be confusing and isolating for women veterans. Group programs are an important source of transition support. However, we know little about the specific group program needs of women veterans.

Objectives

To examine mental health and well-being support group programs delivered to women veterans, to understand what they value and find most helpful.

Eligibility criteria

Women military veterans (all types); empirical studies using any design; published between 1990 and 2022; group programs focused on transition issues (such as housing, employment, education, physical health, mental health).
