Maximizing the Efficiency of Our Caregivers
With the conclusion of major battle operations in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and the continued ground presence within Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) the necessity of adjusted resources becomes evident. New advancements in military healthcare, rehabilitation, and civilian reintegration are of major importance to our armed services. Issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD) are now our military’s newest adversaries. Providing comprehensive wellbeing of the Warfighter has lead to the creating of more and more behavioural health programs in order to address issues such as PTSD, Substance Abuse, and suicide issues that face not just the DoD community, but the VA community and families as well
