While some of these women have sought counseling for their sexual trauma, many women have never discussed their assault with anyone. They are very uncomfortable talking about it now, and even wonder if they can, or if it would matter. Yet, these women know that they have "not felt the same" since it occurred. Unfortunately, this is a very common reaction of victims of sexual assault. Many events are never reported. There are reasons for this silence, many of them based on misconceptions about women who have been victimized sexually. Nearly one third of all rape victims develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) sometime during their lifetime. PTSD symptoms are often accompanied by physical problems and generally "not feeling well." Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care professionals are sensitive to the experience of sexual assault and the impact it can have on a victim's physical and emotional health. They understand the feelings of fear, anxiety, shame, anger and embarrassment that victims of sexual assault can have when they try to talk about their trauma. VA health care professionals can help women who are coping with the trauma of sexual assault to regain their confidence, self esteem, and quality of life. VA provides confidential, priority counseling and related health care services to eligible women veterans. Q. What is the Women Veterans Health Programs Act of 1992? A. Public Law 102-585, Veterans Health Care Act of 1 992, Title I - Women Veterans Health Programs, enacted November 4, 1 992, established programs to improve health care services for women veterans, including priority counseling for sexual trauma and related health care services to eligible women veterans. Q. Who is eligible for care under the Women Veterans Health Programs Act of 1992? A. VA may provide counseling to women veterans who VA determines require such counseling to overcome psychological trauma. The trauma may result from a physical assault of a sexual nature, battery of a sexual nature, or sexual harassment which occurred while serving on active military duty. Public Law 102 585, defines sexual harassment as ; repeated, unsolicited verbal or physical : contact of a sexual nature which is threatening in character. Q. When must a woman veteran seek care under the Women Veterans Health Programs Act of 1992? A. Currently VA may provide counseling services through December 31, 1995. To be eligible to receive counseling, a woman veteran must seek counseling from VA within two years after the date of her discharge or release from active military service. Currently a woman veteran who was discharged or released from active military service before December 31, 1991, must seek counseling from VA prior to December 31,1993. Q. Is a woman veteran eligible to receive care for sexual trauma, although the assault was never reported when it occurred? A. Yes. To be eligible to receive sexual trauma counseling and related health care from VA, there is no requirement that a woman veteran must have reported the sexual trauma when it occurred or at any time during her active military service. Q. Where can a woman veteran Want to subscribe to Spilyay Tymoo? Moving? Send subscription or change of address to: Spilyay Tymoo, P.O. Box 870, Warm Springs, OR 97761 Name Address. City Subscription rates: $15.00 per year in the U.S. , $25.00 per year outside the U.S. or 1 st Class in the U.S. All members of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs will receive the Spilyay Tymoo at no cost. Spilyay Tymoo is published bi-weekly by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. SPILYAYTYMOO receive care or more Information regarding the VA sexual trauma services? A. A woman veteran seeking counseling and related health care for sexual trauma should contact the Women Veterans Coordinator at the nearest VA medical center or vet center for assistance. The telephone number for the medical center or vet center can be found In the telephone directory under "U, S. Government" listings. Q. What Is disability compensation and who is eligible for this benefit? A. Veterans who are disabled by injury or decease incurred or aggravated during active service in the line of duty during wartime or peacetime service and discharged or separated under other than dishonorable conditions are eligible for monthly payments from VA. The amount of these payments, called disability compensation, is based on the degree of disability. Disabilities are rated from zero to 100 percent disabling, in i ncrements of 1 0 percent. If there are two or more disabilities, the individual percentages of each are used to determine a combined disability evaluation. Compensation is not payable at the zero percent level. Q. Can a woman veteran who was the victim of sexual assault while serving on active duty qualify for disability compensation? A. VA may pay compensation to a woman veteran for disabilities incurred or aggravated in the line of duty , including disabilities or injuries resulting from sexual trauma. A Veterans Benefits Counselor (VBC) at a VA medical center or regional office can explain the compensation program in greater detail and assist in filing a claim. Information may also be obtained by calling 1-800-827-1 000, and speaking with VBC at the nearest VA regional office. Q. Does a women veteran who was the victim of sexual assault while serving on active duty automatically qualify for disability compensation? A. No. As stated above, payment of compensation is based on the degree of the service connected disability or disabilities. VA must first determine whether there are current disabilities related to military service. If disabilities are deemed service related, VA then evaluates the degree or disability, which determines the amount of compensation payable. Once again, compensation is not payable for a zero percent evaluation. A woman who has been the victim of sexual trauma may or may not have residual disability which can be deemed service connected, or may exhibit residuals which are not compensable (i.e., evaluated at the zero percent level). Q. Does sexual assualt have an impact on the mental and physical health of the victim? A. Having been the victim of rape appears to significantly impact on the overall health of the victim. According to the 1988 report, "Rape in America," nearly one-third (3 1 ) of all rape victims develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) sometime during their lifetime. Additionally, researchers are beginning to notice a relationship between PTSD symptoms and an increase in physical health problems and reports of "not feeling well." Q. What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD)? A. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a recurrent emotional reaction to a terrifying, uncontrollable or life threatening event. The symptoms frequently develop after a person' s sense of safety and security is violated. Individuals with PTSD experience a variety of symptoms that often impede their daily lives. These may include sleep disturbance, nightmares, emotional instability, feelings of fear and anxiety around seemingly non-threatening situations, impaired concentration, and increased stress or problems in intimate and the interpersonal relationships.These reactions are common after a trauma and are part of the initial adjustment process. Q. What other problems are commonly associated with rape related PTSD? State A. Recent research shows that women who have experienced rape or other violent crimes are more likely to develop problems with depression, drug andor alcohol abuse, and suicidal thoughts than women who have not had such an experience. Also, it is not uncommon for women to feel shame, guilt or confusion about the rape itself. Q. What kind of help does a person with some of these symptoms need? A. Frequently, people exposed to life-threatening trauma benefit from psychological counseling. Talking about one's experience, symptoms, fears and concerns with a trained professional usually results in the reduction of such problems and helps a person restore his her sense of personal safety. Victims of sexual assault or harassment have been successfully treated in both individual and group therapy settings.. Q. How does a woman know whether she needs treatment or what kind of treatment would be best for her? A. If a woman has been the victim of a sexual assault and is experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, or if she has experienced a general and continuing feeling of personal discomfort, the most important thing for her to do is to receive an evaluation by an appropriate health care professional who knows about the impact sexual assault can have on a person's physical and emotional health. The health care professional can provide advice regarding available treatment options or and appropriate referral. Q. I have never discussed my assault with anyone and I am very frightened about talking about it now, and even wonder if I can. What can I do about this fear? A. Unfortunately, this is a very common fear of women who have been the victims of sexual assault. In fact, it is estimated that only sixteen percent of the rapes that occur in this country are ever officially reported. Many of the reasons for this silence are based on society's stereotypes of women who have been victimized sexually. It is important to have become increasingly sensitized to the experience of sexual assault and the impact it can have on the victim. As a result, they are much more able to respond to the fears and anxieties you are, experiencing. They will also understand the difficulty you have in discussing them with another person and will be able to help you express yourself in a way that is most comfortable for you. The Women Veterans Health Program includes: Priority outpatient counseling services and related health care services; Education and counseling on the normal and expected responses to sexual trauma; Assessment of the specific problems (s); Treatment to assist with restoring physical and emotional health; Information and referrals for services and benefits available.
