Social engagement is a key to brain health for everyone, and especially for military Veterans who have experienced brain trauma in the form of traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or possible Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). In this video, Dr. Rebecca Van Horn, a psychiatrist and U.S. Army Reservist, and Col. (Ret.) Dr. Sidney Hinds, MD, FAAN, describe why socialization is a tool for brain health and recovery. They emphasize how digital video communication is especially important when in-person interaction isn't possible.

Operation Brain Health is part of the Concussion Legacy Foundation's Project Enlist, which is serving as a catalyst for research on military Veterans with TBI, CTE and PTSD by rapidly increasing the number of Veteran brains donated to brain banks for study. Operation Brain Health is providing a service to Veterans through positive brain health messaging to help support the heroes who courageously fight for our nation.
