Episode 62: Breaking New Ground with Veterans

June is PTSD Awareness Month. One group in particular, veterans, has a huge stake in our advancing understanding of PTSD and ways to treat it. There are 1.4 million veterans in Texas, and while many military families are resilient, some struggle with behavioral health concerns. The UTHealth Trauma and Resilience Center just opened its doors at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. This first-of-its-kind center takes a team-based, integrated approach to the behavioral health needs of veterans and their families. Dr. Jair Soares joins us to talk about the vision for the new center and what it means for understanding of PTSD.
