First Legion PhD scholarship recipient: Improving PTSD treatment for Veterans
Raphaelle Merlo of Laval University in Quebec is the first ever recipient of a new $50,000 PhD scholarship in Veteran Health Research, offered by The Royal Canadian Legion. She is embarking upon research related to mental health and traumatic events. “Being supported by the Legion to carry out this research project confirms to me the importance of this issue and reinforces my motivation to optimize the psychological care offered to soldiers and veterans,” she says.
