The event will encompass several areas on a soldier’s mental health as related to issues caused by combat and deployment. They can range from phobias, anxiety disorders, depression to obsessive-compulsive disorder – and most importantly, commonly experienced challenges such as PTSD, TBI, and Suicide.

After a decade plus of combat, the service members and statistics are showing clear alarming rates of PTSD, TBI, and suicide. Studies show that a military member commits suicide every day. The Defense Department is committed in their efforts to combat these issues; spending more time and money on effective research, care and outreach. Be sure to join in on the conversation at IDGA’s Military Behavioral Healthcare.
