Symposium on Mental Healthcare Delivery to the Reserve Component

The Defense Education Forum of the Reserve Officers Association is sponsoring a one day seminar on mental healthcare delivery to the Reserve Components. The program will be equally divided into two sessions. The program will focus on traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the morning and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the afternoon.

Both sessions will start with a general overview of these two areas and be followed by presentations on current research and clinical findings on TBI and PTSD.

The faculty will be composed of speakers who have attained national renown for their work in these areas. (E.g. BG Loree Sutton and BG Rhonda Cornum.) Keynote speakers will include Hon. Tom Hall, LTG Eric B. Schoomaker and Reserve Component leaders.
