Parachuting with Purpose: A View into the Personal Experiences of Traumatic Brain Injury Among Veterans and a New Path Toward Precision Solutions

Cohen Veterans Bioscience (CVB) and Mission2Alpha Host a Conversation with Veteran BASE Jumpers of 22 Jumps

The “invisible wounds of war” are not so invisible: The high rates of suicide and other maladies gripping our nation’s military families are right in front of us.

Join the conversation to hear the personal stories of veterans who suffer from traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as survivors of Veterans’ suicide, and why they are driving an effort to raise awareness for removing the stigma around Mental Health.

As people experience brain trauma differently, the field has been stymied by a one-size-fits-all approach and lack of objective tools and treatments to effectively diagnose and manage TBI and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). TBI and PTSD are risk factors of suicide. Learn about how organizations are collaborating and advocating to bring new solutions to Veterans and others who have sustained brain trauma.
