When military police officers, private security contractors, and other personnel return from deployment, their missions may be over—but the psychological toll often lingers.
A new white paper from Mission Critical Psychological Services, a Valor Healthcare company, makes a powerful business and ethical case for mandatory post-deployment psychological evaluations. The report outlines how delayed or missing assessments increase the risk of PTSD, workplace incidents, absenteeism, and even costly lawsuits.
Key insights include:
-
Over 50% of returning personnel show signs of psychological distress six months after deployment.
-
Many mental health conditions remain hidden without formal screening—until it’s too late.
-
Organizations that neglect duty of care may face lawsuits, reputational damage, and rising healthcare costs.
The message is clear: If your people serve in high-stress environments, your responsibility doesn’t end when they return home.
