Connections

How can we better serve those who have served? Have disorders like PTSD, traumatic brain injury and others made this time especially difficult for veterans? What strengths and experiences gained in military service have made veterans uniquely resilient? How might veterans be role models for the community during this challenging time? Tess Banko, Marine Corps veteran and executive director of the UCLA Veteran Family Wellness Center at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center, converses with UCLA Connections’ Alison Hewitt to explore these topics and respond to your questions.
