Our Work
Trauma-related mental health problems for warfighters are complicated and widespread. Hundreds of thousands of veterans have problems with sleep, PTSD, and other service-related stress problems. The scope of the problem is vast, demanding a public health response. Science provides maps, data and evidence about what actually works. It has the capacity to help not just one veteran or one community – it improves health in generations of veterans. New discoveries can make medical care precise and effective – delivering the right help to the right veterans at the right time.
