Planning Committee

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have posed unique psychological challenges to troops as a result of multiple tours of duty and a higher prevalence of brain injury, among other factors. National Guard and reserves make up approximately one-third of all military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are more likely than other military to face multiple deployments. Yet, once their job is finished, guard and reserve service members return to civilian life instead of a military base, and do not have the same access to health care services as their active duty colleagues.

This year's invitation-only symposium will focus on the current mental health services, screening, surveillance, and support available for returning National Guard and reserve Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans and their families--so they can protect and promote a healthy journey home.
