Thursday Keynote Speaker - Bob Caffrey

The Combat Trauma Continuum and Veterans
By most recent estimates, there are 27 million male and female military veterans in the United States.  Presently, the United States is ending its involvement in the two longest wars in American history. An unprecendented number of American warriors have, or will, experience combat and its attendant stress and trauma.  American warriors are often viewed, by themselves and civilians, as stoic, resilient, and high functioning. The expectation is that our warriors perform their missions successfully, and then return home to reintegrate seamlessly into civilian society.  The truth, is often far different. http://www.caffreycounseling.com/
