TBI and PTSD in the Workplace
The fog of war or the scent of battle is hard to fathom as are many of the trials our military must face, but imagine when the young men and women who bravely served our country return to this great nation as a civilian and find even more challenges during their job search. Yesterday DirectEmployers Association was honored to have Megan Krause and Lisa Stern from America’s Heroes At Work present “Demystifying Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in... |

I was greeted with a smile and a pamphlet and that was that. How frustrating! Wait a minute, after 20 years in the U.S. Army and Reserves all I get is a smile and a pamphlet?
