Beyond the Battlefield was created to put the health and well-being of military personnel, Veterans and families front and centre, and each conversation moves that work forward.
Conversation 1 examined the experiences of military families navigating mobility and relocation. Conversation 2 turns to traumatic brain injuries and what recovery looks like for those who have served.
Conversation 3 looks at life after service and the evolving needs of aging Veterans — coming soon.
The conversation is far from over.
