When the War Comes Home
WELLNESS CONFERENCE
August 16 & 17, 2008
For
returning veterans, veterans’ families, military health and community mental health
and substance abuse counselors
In
Nebraska nearly 3,000 veterans have returned from an overseas deployment in support of
Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Research has shown that the
frequency and intensity of exposure to combat experiences is strongly associated with the
risk of behavioral health problems such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
Depression, Suicide, Substance Abuse and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). In addition, these
experiences can lead to a number of primary care issues such as hearing loss, chronic
pain, weight gain and sexual dysfunction.
