All veterans, whether they have seen combat or not, and regardless of any previous diagnosis of TBI or PTSD, should consider applying for the THRIVE program. Don't rule yourself out by assuming you don't have these conditions or they're not severe enough. THRIVE takes a comprehensive approach to assess the overall health of veterans through a multidisciplinary team. During the three-day evaluation, they will determine if you have any diagnoses, related health issues, and the severity of any symptoms. Upon completion, you'll ... read more
