The United State Army has released a teaching program which will aid soldiers and their families in recognizing the symptoms of both mTBI and post-traumatic stress disorder. 1.2 million soldiers in groups of 40 to a class will be put through the mandatory training. Both the Pentagon and the American Psychological Association claim that army mental health services are lacking in funding and staff. Teaching resources are available for download at the army site to soldiers and to Family Readiness Group Leaders, but not to [any other] civilians.

I am glad to see the Army [at last?] taking a pro-active approach to both head injury and p.t.s.d.
