mental wellness

I just spent a day at a conference in mental health and a few talks covered veteran health issues. One was a set of parents whose son died from CTE chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It is often diagnosed as post traumatic stress and can not be detected until an autopsy is performed after death. On a positive note, I met a person from NAMI who runs the York office of York office. The lady acknowledged that Lancaster should have more programs for veterans and their families. I offered to help the process and in time it will come to fruition. There are many more things that will be explored and Team River Runner, the adapted kayaking program for veterans, will finally generate more interest. Veterans will have more chances to improve socially, recreationally, and personally. All that is needed is a few good "men."
