As part of BIASC’s commitment to creating a better future through brain injury prevention, research, education, and advocacy, Veteran Outreach Coordinator Mike Simmons will present to the SC Governor’s Challenge coalition on how BI and mental health conditions can intersect in veterans’ lives and why education and prevention matter. If you or someone you know is struggling, you can find support and resources through the National Center for PTSD.
