My son, John, an Iraq combat veteran spoke to about 200 people attending a California colleges regents meeting today. The schools are looking for ways to support returning veterans, particularly those with PTSD and TBI and help them integrate from the military into school life.
These last two days I have been attending conferences put on at the Bay Area Hospital relating to recognizing and treating PTSD and TBI and will be reporting on it for the Sentinel. John, on the right in the picture above, was asked to speak by the dean of the school he is attending, about the barriers and obstacles facing veterans today. It is a joy to see him doing so well and he is sure working hard at conquering his demons.
